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.
