"Simple room, nice water hole"

1 night Arrived 31 Aug 2013
"Our room was very simple here. But totally adequate for us. We don't need luxury. Just clean and safe. The water hole set up was quite intimate feeling. Kind of natural arena style which kept you closer to the animals.

We caught a rhino just after sunset at the watering hole and this was magical. We didn't stay long at the watering hole. The fire had burned a lot near Halali. I hear a trash burn got out of control. So sad. Totally preventable." See all these reviews: 18n in Namibia

"Halali Camp review"

1 night Arrived 19 Aug 2013
"We were in a 2-bed chalet - spacious and nice with patio and BBQ. Camp is large and spread out.

By far the largest swimming pool we encountered on our trip.

Good viewing area of waterhole in this camp - jackals, fox, hyena and rhino spotted in the one hour we went at night." See all these reviews: 9n in Namibia; 2n in Botswana; 1n in South Africa

"Another good place within park"

2 nights Arrived 31 Jul 2013
"Another amazing water hole - more intimate but no less populated by a variety of animals.

Accommodation and services good. Location location location - so close to many waterholes . We always thought that having seen something unbelievable at 1 waterhole that it could not get better - and then it did

Had the misfortune of a driver reversing into us at speed in the park and having "limped"back to camp staff could not have been more helpful in providing temp repairs to the vehicle." See all these reviews: 17n in Namibia

"Halali Camp review"

2 nights Arrived 20 Jul 2013
"Run by the government company as a model of inefficiency. I just wanted to get hold of them and shake them firmly.

It could be soooo much better with a bit of imagination and oomph, as it has so much to offer." See all these reviews: 12n in Namibia

"Halali Camp review"

2 nights Arrived 9 Jul 2013
"Again this is a restcamp not a private Lodge so the staff attitude is different, efficient but not the charming smiles we had found elsewhere!

We had to ask for 2 replacement bulbs as our bathroom was in darkness. As it was late in the day we had to climb on the toilet and change them ourselves.

The bed was jammed into an alcove which caused you to hit your head as you got up in the night.

The rooms were spotlessly clean and again tea & coffee making facilities, plus a fridge.

We stayed in a bungalow but the individual rooms looked OK too, despite the toilet being in the way of the washbasin. Forget it and have a shower instead!
This Waterhole was a little walk-away down ill-lit paths, so take a torch. The seating area is a tad rocky, so can be dangerous if you are not fleet of foot." See all these reviews: 13n in Namibia

"Good rest camp inside Etosha"

1 night Arrived 31 Mar 2013
"Only stayed here one night but it is an ideal rest place as you travel across the Park. Quite a lot of people staying there but it never felt crowded or noisy.

The buffet food was good and the staff very attentive." See all these reviews: 16n in Namibia
