"Great Safari Camp"

2 nights Arrived 28 Oct 2013
"A big thank you to Sabina as she persuaded us to choose this camp and yes would not have missed it . Basic accommodation compared to other places we had stayed at and food in restaurant not as varied choice but the evening watering holes made up for this greatly . We saw some wonderful sights at the watering hole , especially young elephants and a young rhinoceros . Martin and I felt very comfortable allowing the children to set their alarms for 2 am and go down to the watering hole .

We came away from Etosha feeling we would have spent a couple more nights here in this are not necessarily at this park but perhaps to the east as we didn't really cover that area .


Driving ourselves was a great family experience and in our 3 weeks we never felt in danger or out of our comfort zone although I do admit prior to arriving in Namibia I did have some concerns ." See all these reviews: 18n in Namibia

"Excellent waterhole at Halali"

2 nights Arrived 24 Sep 2013
"Disabled persons review: All areas of this lodge were easily accessible.

The three main camps in Etosha are more basic than the private lodges but we expected that. Rooms at Halali were clean and well equipped and despite the number of rooms it was quiet in the evenings. The waterhole is set away from the accommodation so was quiet and we saw elephants, giraffe, zebra and various antelope each evening.

A coffee table in the room by the armchairs would have been useful, there being plenty of space for this." See all these reviews: 12n in Namibia; 9n in South Africa

"Halali Camp review"

1 night Arrived 20 Sep 2013
"Not a good experience - this was overpriced both in the shop and the restaurant. The waterhole was good, but a long way from the camp.

There were several large groups present in the camp during our stay, which affected the service we received." See all these reviews: 20n in Namibia

"Halali Camp review"

2 nights Arrived 17 Sep 2013
"From here you can also access Namutoni and its nearby waterholes quite easily. The food is much the same as in Okaukuejo but the dining room at Halali is nowehere near as good in terms of comfort, layout, ambiance.

But, none of it matters when there are so many different kinds of anaimals to see comparatively easily." See all these reviews: 12n in Namibia

"Halali Camp review"

2 nights Arrived 15 Sep 2013
"Again, the waterhole was reallly interesting.

Could have been more sunloungers round the pool.

Food was good, and it was obliging of them to charge me (the vegetarian!) half price for the buffet dinner.

Staff could have been a bit better informed (for example, we asked for details about the obviously recent bush fire, and the grave at Rietfontein (I think it was there), but the lady at reception didn't seem to know very much." See all these reviews: 10n in Namibia; 5n in Botswana; 2n in Zambia

"Halali not as nice as Okaukuejo"

1 night Arrived 10 Sep 2013
"Very nice for a National Park lodge.

Rooms were large but in general seemed a bit more tired than Okaukuejo.

Water hole had less wildlife activity compared to Okaukuejo but still a fair bit of night activity including rhinos." See all these reviews: 7n in Namibia; 4n in Botswana; 2n in Zambia

"Nice contrast with Okaukuejo Camp."

1 night Arrived 31 Aug 2013
"This camp was smaller and quieter than Okaukuejo, a welcomed change. The grounds were lovely and the overall location of the camp much more wooded and secluded. Our wildlife viewing was disappointing, but not the fault of the camp.

The waterhole has an interesting layout. The water level seemed to be low which may or may not be the cause of very little animal activity.

Food here was the same as Okuakuejo. The service was better but we were no longer with a large group." See all these reviews: 10n in Namibia; 9n in Botswana
