Halali Restcamp review
The first night was spent in Sekelbos - a VIP bungalow at Halali. Very comfortable and well-kitted out. Ask for Sekelbos, it's special.
We spent the remaining two days in what was allegedly standard accommodation. It was excellent. Air conditioned, fresh and clean.
The visitors are generally well behaved, especially at night at the waterhole where one sees plenty of elephants and the odd rhino and leopard.
Adventure at Halali
Nice, tidy camp with good accommodation that had clearly been recently refurbished. Food buffet style with average service and food adequate. Waterhole provided experiences and saw several rhino and a leopard.
Night drive was an adventure, seeing lions hunting etc, well worth the effort.
Nearby there are some excellent waterholes to see vast amounts of wildlife of all shapes and sizes - in all a great location.
Dry waterhole
Many waterholes were dry but good viewings of lions and other game where there was water.
Would recommend staying at waterholes for some time - game come and go on a regular basis. Be prepared to do a lot of driving, Mornings were better for game than the evenings.
A more relaxing rest camp
The accommodation was large and include a sitting area.
The swimming pool was excellent. Very few animals came to the waterhole.
Halali Restcamp review
Arrived to find that our booking had been cancelled ( this had happened to another couple we had met at Okaukeujo also with Wilderness Safari). Luckily they could give us a room suitable for disabled which although adequate did not have the same facilities as the Bush Chalet we had paid for.
Neither Wilderness Safari or Halali took responsibility for the error and no recompense /explaination was offered or made. Also disappointed that no alternative meal was available for vegetarians on the BBQ night, just the salads that everyone else had.
Great waterhole, good morning drive with a nice guide. Thanks for the cosy ponchos.
However we had a great time at Halali.

Kitchens in the vip houses were very badly equiped.

Halali was much quieter than Okakuejo, i.e. less people. The rooms had recently been done up. We had a one-bedroomed bungalow, which had a separate lounge - both the bedroom and lounge had air conditioning. The bed had mosquito nets.
The food in the restaurant was similar to Okaukuejo, and the shop was stocked similarly to the one at Okaukuejo.
We saw rhino at the waterhole in the evening, and one lunchtime we were at the waterhole, about 35 elephants came and used the waterhole.
Again, like Okaukeujo, there was no information about what animals could be seen where.
Halali Restcamp review
Accomodation more dated than Okaukuejo but still clean and good value and quieter.
The restaurant lacked atmosphere and food was not as good as Okaukuejo while the waterhole lacked much of interest (though this may have just been down to luck as to what turned up when) and is not as comfortable to sit around and wait.
Hornbill city
Great location in Etosha National Park. Room very good and clean, air conditioning very efficient.
Kitchen very basic and you need to bring your own cleaning, washing up materials if you want to self cater and have a BBQ which was a welcome change. We had shopped at a supermarket in Outjo before reaching Etosha but the shop at Halali was not too bad for basic provisions and frozen meat.
Lucky to see white rhino, bull elephant and spotted hyena at waterhole in the evening. Great breakfast and can recommend the omelettes. Very relaxed atmosphere.
Halali Restcamp review
Again we stayed in upgraded accommodation. Our rooms were a little smallbut perfectly adequate.
Our stay of 4 nights allowed us to view and phtograph wildlife at leisure.
We have always believed that acting responsibly is the only way to approach tourism and we're one of
the few companies to hold AITO's original coveted 5-star status for responsible tourism. It's a lead
that others are now following.
