Located halfway between Okaukuejo and Namutoni in Namibia's Etosha National Park, this mobile campsite gives you an up-close experience with wildlife. A varied and abundant amount of Namibian wildlife come to the secluded, scenic, floodlit waterhole which is a short walk from the main camp itself. The major benefit here is that you will not be disturbed or distracted when game viewing. Surrounding the camp are some of the most visited waterholes in the park.
Etosha National Park is the gateway to Northern Namibia and Ovamboland. It is Namibia’s prime wildlife location and home to a large variety of mammals and birds. Etosha means the ‘ great white area ‘ this refers to large dried pan in the middle of the Etosha Park. The Etosha Pan is a vast, bare, open expanse of shimmering green and white that covers around almost a quarter of the beautiful national park. It is comfortably the largest salt pan in Africa and is the park’s most distinctive and dramatic feature, visible even from space. The pan was originally a lake but over time the earth’s climate forced the rivers that once fed the lake to change course and flow into the Atlantic Ocean. If one were to try find where the lake once lay today, only the dry baked alkaline clay marks would give you a clue.
While at in Etosha, guests will be wild camping. “Wild camping” means that a camp is set up in the bush/desert where no facilities whatsoever exist. All meals are prepared on an open fire and 2.5m dome tents with a bedroll and sleeping bag are used for accommodation.
