"Halili was decent"

1 night Arrived 24 May 2015
"We were not here long but nothing stood out.

We were at the waterhole watching more rhino and elephant when a loud commotion behind us resulted in everyone scrambling to see a honey badger which had knocked over a garbage can.

He runs that place so heads up for the honey badger." See all these reviews: 13n in Namibia; 8n in Zambia

"Halali Camp review"

2 nights Arrived 15 May 2015
"A very good big camp. We had a chalet with disabled access which was a bit strange with no bathroom/toilet door and only one chair. We had been warned that this was the only accommodation available so it didn't come as complete surprise but it was odd. We checked the inventory on arrival and found a few things missing but when we went to report it to reception, we were just told that they were already aware.

We have been to Halali before and were looking forward to going back - we weren't disappointed, enjoyed the atmosphere and had good game sightings including white and black rhino and lions.

Buffet restaurant was good with friendly efficient service for drinks. Breakfast omelettes were lovely." See all these reviews: 15n in Namibia

"Halali Camp review"

2 nights Arrived 26 Feb 2015
"Stayed two nights

Room very nice,clean, large and spacious. The air con sprung a leak and we just turned it off and put a towel down to catch the water!
It seemed to fix itself later when we switched it back on.
Food was the same menu for both nights. Steak or fish. It was fine and there was plenty of it. Breakfast had a good selection and food cooked to order.Staff were very friendly.
Paid for meals and fuel by credit card." See all these reviews: 11n in Namibia; 2n in Botswana; 2n in Zimbabwe

"Halali Camp review"

2 nights Arrived 21 Dec 2014
"Original chalet offered had been adapted for 'disabled persons' so we asked for a alternative chalet in case it was required for its intended purpose. We were upgraded to a 'honeymoon chalet' for a small extra charge of 180r for our two day stay, and it came with a jacuzzi.

The camp seemed to be packed with campers this year rather than chalet occupants but it was generally busy. Catering was the usual buffet every day OK but not very interesting.

Moringa waterhole was quiet with few animals on both nights we were there." See all these reviews: 10n in Namibia

"Wish we had stayed longer!"

1 night Arrived 14 Nov 2014
"Our room had recently been refurbished so was more up to date and fresher than Okakuejo. Food was a bit more interesting and because there were fewer guests, it was a bit more personal.

Because we were only there one night, we did not make a lot of use of the waterhole, but it was a lovely setting." See all these reviews: 15n in Namibia; 3n in Botswana; 3n in Zimbabwe

"Halali Camp review"

2 nights Arrived 19 Oct 2014
"We were in a Bush chalet, which was comfortable and clean, if in bit of a need of some maintenance, we did report the worst items. We found we needed to keep the air conditioning on to keep a reasonable temperature - there was not much shade around the chalets. There were braii facilities and a small kitchen area with sink, fridge and kettle and tea and coffee, but nothing supplied to cook with - just 2 plates and 2 knives, 2 forks, and 2 spoons. We did manage to cook an improvised basic meal. It was a disappointment as part of our request was the ability to do some self catering as we had at Eagles Nest the previous year.

The camp was busy but the staff were helpful, and we saw several Rhinos at the waterhole in the evening.

The main road to Okaukujeo was in good condition, but side roads were full of potholes and were very slow going. However, it was worth venturing off the main road, as we had excellent game sightings at some of the more out of the way waterholes.

We tried to book onto a NWR morning game drive here but it was very disorganised and were told to keep going back to reception through the evening to see if one was running the next morning, so we were unable to get to the waterhole to watch the animals come in at dusk. In the end the reception staff said there would be no morning game drive as they were still unable to contact the guides and had no idea where they were, or what they were doing! The morning after that there was a game drive, however, of all the game drives we have been on over the years, it seemed half hearted and not very well organised and water was not provided for everyone. This was a shame, but we did however enjoy our stay and the breakfast in the restaurant was very good." See all these reviews: 11n in Namibia

"Halali Camp review"

2 nights Arrived 7 Oct 2014
"Had the same chalet as last visit a good position under a Mopane tree The room was large and comfortable, with better supplied catering materials than the previous stop. The food was good, nicely served outside with self service and excellent Kudu steak.

We did a morning game drive which was good value and we saw small animals eg bat eared fox and wild cat which we would not have seen without the guide to point them out.

The shop is good, with A/C and well stocked, better than Okaukuejo" See all these reviews: 14n in Namibia
