Halali Camp
Halali Camp is another of the Etosha Rest Camps and is situated
halfway between Okaukuejo and Namutoni and gets its name from
the tune traditionally blown on a hinting bugle in Germany
to mark the end of a hunt. The camp is set at the foot of
a small dolomite hill and is shaded by mopane trees. Covering
22,270 square kilometres, Etosha National Park is famed for
its numerous waterholes where a wide diversity of game can
be seen. The most spectacular feature of the park is the vast,
shallow salt pan, which lies in its centre, filling with water
during the rainy season attracting a variety of wildlife and
numerous species of birdlife.
Accommodation & Facilities
Accommodation at Halali is provided in family chalets, two
and four bed bush chalets and double rooms, which all have large
sliding doors to the outside allowing you to enjoy the peaceful
nature of your surroundings. Camping is also available at Halali
and the camp also has a restaurant, bar, shop and large swimming
pool – perfect for a cooling dip in the hotter months of the
year. As with all of the camps inside the park overnight visitors
must enter the camp by sunset.
Wildlife & Activities
One of the attractions of this Halali is the Tsumasa Trail,
which leads up the small hill close to the camp. From a point
on the hill the flood-lit Moringa waterhole can be viewed providing
and exceptional elevated vantage point for wildlife viewing
through the day and night. Other activities include guided
game drives, or game drives within your own self-drive vehicle.
The hundreds of kilometres of well sign posted, good gravel
roads, connect Halali with the other Etosha rest camps, waterholes
and grazing grounds on the southern edges of the pan. Only
this southern section of the park has been developed for visitors,
since the primary role is that of a conservation area where
nature can remain undisturbed.
