"Better than Okaukuejo"
It seemed to attract more coach parties but that's maybe because there were so few people staying there and so the coaches were more obvious.
Once again we didn't do any of the activities, preferring to drive ourselves and watching the sun setting over the waterhole in the evenings.
The staff were better overall than Okaukuejo but the food was pretty similar with buffets for breakfast and dinner." See all these reviews: 18n in Namibia; 5n in South Africa
"Perfect for exploring most of Etosha"

OK and much better than the standard rooms at Okaukeujo." See all these reviews: 13n in Namibia; 8n in Zimbabwe; 1n in Botswana
"Halali Camp review"
"Functional ... but a bit more than that"
The staff in the restaurant are attentive and the food is at the better end of 'typically buffet'. Meat was cooked freshly, and the same went for eggs in the morning. Service was pretty snappy. Breakfast is all but over by nine, a bit of a pain if you have been out for an early drive. That's just the time you're getting back!
We didn't get to the waterhole to comment on that. We did do a morning game drive which was a bit of a lion hunt, but was reasonable at looking at other things as well. The guide was quite amenable." See all these reviews: 19n in Namibia; 4n in South Africa

"Good base for game viewing in East Etosha"
However, the water hole was less accessible with a walk uphill on an uneven stone path, which some people found quite difficult in the dark. Also very little seating provision which meant standing for long periods of time." See all these reviews: 18n in Namibia
"good"
"Halali Camp review"
The buffet is far more organised and hot food was cooked to order by the jovial chef who was eager to please from cooking your steak to making your omelette in the morning.
Chalets slightly better than Okaukuejo Camp, again fridge and air conditioning.
Views of the Waterhole are from elevated platforms with plenty of shade. During the day, game viewing not prolific, however as soon as sun sets there was a steady stream of elephant, black rhino and hyena on one evening.
Good central location for exploring the middle of the national park." See all these reviews: 14n in Namibia
"Halali camp"
The accommodation was good although we didn’t have facilities to cook for ourselves. Food was self service and the same both nights but it was ok.
Location in Etosha was good and it was lovely to have a water hole" See all these reviews: 21n in Namibia
