The complex is giant so do not expect an intimate experience. Booking can be difficult as they sell out months in advance and their reservation policy is a challenge.
If you do stay here, we like to recommend the self-catering chalet houses. There is a restaurant, a swimming pool and actually one of the most interesting flood light lit watering holes in the park. Your evening is sure to be eventful sitting in the natural theater of Africa.

Okaukuejo is situated at the southern center of the pan, 15 km from Anderson gate, the western entrance to Etosha National Park. Accommodation is offered in several variations of rooms and chalets. The Premier Waterhole Chalet is double story chalet with a balcony overlooking the waterhole. The Family Chalet is a self catering unit with two bedrooms, with kitchenette and braai (barbecue) area. The spacious Bush Chalet is a two bed chalet with one bedroom, bathroom, lounge area and braai, while the comfortable Double Rooms have an en-suite bathroom, fridge, and tea station.
Okaukuejo has a waterhole which is floodlit at night, giving you an opportunity to see some of the shy, nocturnal wildlife. The game viewing in Etosha is excellent, including lions, black rhino, elephants, and cheetahs. Animals that come appear to be oblivious of the resort - unaware of the bright lights or the people sitting on benches just behind the low stone wall.
During the dry season, you are bound to see a fascinating array of creatures by just sitting here for a few hours in the evening, so bring a couple of drinks, binoculars, and some warm clothes to settle down and wait. Among the regulars are elephants and jackals, white lions and rare black rhinos.
