Halali Camp in the Etosha National Park gets its name from the German word meaning the bugle call at the end of a hunt, but nowadays the only hunting that takes place is the quest to get the perfect photo. This camp is situated halfway between Namutoni and Okaukeujo Camps and lies at the foot of a dolomite hill, quite typical for this part of Namibia. Whereas Okaukeujo and Namutoni have central floodlit waterholes, at Halali you have to walk a short distance to an elevated vantage point where you have a perfect view of the animals coming to drink. In the area surrounding Halali, there are also a number of waterholes where you can watch the passing parade.
Halali offers a range of accommodation, including 2 family units, 10 two-bedroom bush chalets, 10 one-bedroom bush chalets, 40 double rooms, and 5 honeymoon chalets. All options are air-conditioned and en suite. The bush chalets also have braai facilities, and there is a small shop that provides basic necessities. There are 58 campsites with power points and taps. These campsites share central ablution facilities.
Halali is strategically located halfway between Okaukuejo and Namutoni. Halali Camp is situated at the base of a dolomite hill, amongst shady Mopane trees. The Halali camp is easily accessible either through Anderson or Von Lindequist entrance gates.

The central part of Halali Camp accommodates a shop that stocks basic necessities and curios. There is fuel available at the camp, as well as a restaurant, bar, and pool. A shaded picnic area provides a cool place to relax. There is a raised viewpoint close to the camp for game viewing, and there are a number of waterholes nearby if you want to do a game drive. Although Etosha National Park is geared towards self-drive game viewing, Halali Camp offers guided night drives, as well as guided morning and afternoon game drives.
Etosha National Park might be Namibia's best wildlife destination, but it is certainly not the only attraction. In order to explore Namibia in a small group on a tailor-made safari the best would be to contact Temba Namibia. They are experts in Namibian tours and safaris. To the east of Halali is the Caprivi strip also known as the Zambezi District. A few nights at Ngepi Camp on the shores of the Kavango River will be a very rewarding experience for families. Drive south from Halali and stay at the Vingerklip Lodge near the vingerklip before you visit the Cape Cross Lodge along the Skeleton Coast near the Cape Cross seal colony. This will allow you to experience both wildlife of the ocean and that of Etosha National Park. Sossusvlei Lodge or Sossusvlei Desert Camp at the Sesriem gate of the Namib-Naukluft Park in Namibia, should definitely be your destination.
If you plan a visit to Gaborone, the capital City of Botswana, after your stay at Halali Rest Camp you can overnight at the Planet Baobab before travelling to Cresta Lodge Gaborone. Kang Ultra Lodge can be considered a perfect stopover between South Africa and Namibia if you are travelling on the Trans-Kalahari Highway.
In Zimbabwe, Halali Rest Camp recommends the Hwange Safari Lodge which is in the Hwange National Park. If you decide to visit Victoria Falls we recommend the following lodges for luxury, Ilala Lodge, Cresta Sprayview or A'zambezi River Lodge. For budget accommodation in Victoria Falls we recommend Rest Camp at Vic Falls.
