"Halali Camp review"

3 nights Arrived 15 Jul 2011
"Halali is inside Etosha and therefore is in a great location.

Early one morning (around 5:30) we saw two rhino at the water hole. Water hole did not seem to attract as many animals as Okaukuejo, but was much quieter and has much better ambiance." See all these reviews: 19n in Namibia

"Halali Camp review"

2 nights Arrived 7 Jul 2011
"We know not to expect 5 star accommodation in Etosha Park and we were pleased with the upgrades in the accommodation from 9 years ago. Unfortunately the meals still leave alot to be desired.

After a very disappointing evening meal we then self catered for the rest of our stay in Etosha. This was a challenge given the very very limited supplies in Halali and Okaukuejo camp shops but still much preferable to the restaurant" See all these reviews: 8n in Namibia

"Halali Camp review"

2 nights Arrived 13 Jun 2011
"We were upgraded to a larger 4 bed bungalow and had fun cooking on the braai for ourselves, having brought the meat etc from outside the Park. (The shop had a very poor selection and almost no meat.) The bungalow had crockery and cutlery for the braai. Ate dinner in the restaurant one night which was was extremely expensive and mediocre, not recommended.

Domestic and tourist information staff very helpful.

The floodlit waterhole proved disappointing for animals, though we did see a few. The seats were uncomfortable and rather cramped and noisy when lots of guests arrived." See all these reviews: 21n in Namibia

"Halali- good location, small waterhole"

1 night Arrived 1 Jun 2011
"Halali camp was a pleasant experience. The room was basic but clean and the restaurant was fine. The highlight of staying here is the small waterhole that they have at the back of the compound. We sat there in the evenings and watched a couple of rhino come to drink. If one is planning to cover as much of Etosha as possible then Halali is a must because the distance between Namutoni and Okaukeujo is too great to be able to cover all the central waterholes as well."

"Halali Camp review"

1 night Arrived 1 May 2011
"We where quite dissapointed with Halali, Staff seemed poorly supervised and lacked motivation, had to chase the staff to get served.,
Food was below average, and poorly laid out.

Upon departing we where accused of stealing a bathmat.

Not a place I would wish to return to, thankfully we where only there for 1 night." See all these reviews: 13n in Namibia

"Halali Camp review"

2 nights Arrived 18 Feb 2011
"We enjoyed staying here despite heavy rain pouring through the roof over where we ate (exceptional for the time of year). The rooms were clean and fairly basic but comfortable beds - we had to ask for more towels.

There was no bottled water in the fridge. No tea or coffee or dried milk but plenty of sugar! ie the rooms were not properly serviced.

Good food but they frequently messed up our orders." See all these reviews: 13n in Namibia

"Halali Camp review"

2 nights Arrived 8 Dec 2010
"Lovely camp - quieter than the previous which was nice.

The waterhole was very nice - bit scary walking up there after dark though!

The restaurant staff were excellent. We arrived late for breakfast having done a 3 hour game drive and they made us sandwiches and drinks which was very kind." See all these reviews: 11n in Namibia

"Fine for one night"

1 night Arrived 25 Nov 2010
"We actually preferred Okaukuejo to Halali. We decided to eat in the restaurant but went without lunch entirely when we saw platters of mussels and other fish/ meats which were open to the elements and not chilled. Disturbingly the left overs were part of the evening meal. Do guests get tummy problems here?

Having said that we did partake of the freshly cooked meal which was adequate and actually rather better that our make do and mend meals we had prepared in Okonjima!

The rooms were excellent, spacious and clean but the whole camp looked a bit like a freshly painted concentration camp!
Of course the reason for being in Etosha was to see animals and this we most certainly did - vast numbers - including several Lions. We were therefore more than satisfied with our stay." See all these reviews: 17n in Namibia
