Dolomite Camp

Nestled amongst dolomite outcrops and located near the Dolomietpunt waterhole, the aptly named Dolomite Camp (it was originally going to be called Dolomite Point, or 'Dolomietpunt') is the latest camp by the Namibian Wildlife Resorts. This is the first camp to be built in the far west side of the Etosha National Park, opening up an area that few people have accessed before.

Our view of Dolomite Camp

Dolomite Camp has opened up an area of Etosha National Park that was previously restricted to visitors. The game here is good, if skittish, and the experience quite exclusive compared with the rest of Etosha. The camp itself has a stunning location, but getting around its long walkways, which are sometimes steep and poorly-lit, can be an issue, especially for the less agile. On our recent visit we found the staff friendly, however at times the service was unacceptable, especially during dinner. It is certainly not as efficient and it may be due to insufficient numbers of staff. The staff members that were around were doubling up on duties around the camp!
