Namutoni Camp

Namutoni Camp is situated on the eastern side of Etosha, and derives its name from the old German fort around which it is built.  The camp is a short drive from the eastern entrance into the park and also overlooks the flood-lit King Nehale waterhole.  Etosha 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
Namutoni camp consists of 20 bush chalets and 24 double rooms and camping is also available.  Other facilities at Namutoni include a couple of restaurants, a bar, curio shop, bookshop and swimming pool.  Overnight visitors must enter the camp by sunset.

Wildlife & Activities
Hundreds of kilometres of well sign posted, good gravel roads, connect Namutoni 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.  Activities at Namutoni are focussed on nature and wildlife and these can be enjoyed by game viewing at the flood-lit waterhole, on guided game drives or exploring the area in your own self-drive vehicle.  Guests can also visit the historic fort.
