"Halali Camp review"
The only drawback to Halali was that the on-site shop does not stock a very wide variety of food, and with there only being one other dining option, the choices are pretty limited." See all these reviews: 11n in Namibia; 2n in Zambia
"Great Etosha waterhole tour"
Overall not good value for money. Fortunately breakfasts were good and plentiful and it is wise to eat well as lunch can be a challenge,we suggest putting together a picnic from bits and pieces from breakfast and a few items from the shop. Unfortunately most of the roads around camp were closed for repairs and therefore several water holes were not available.
Two nights would have been enough." See all these reviews: 11n in Namibia
"A disappointment"
The organised safari was disappointing and was ruined by the roads being regraded due to the poor condition thay were in.
It took two hours to leave Etosha due to the extremely poor condition of the gravel roads, which in effect were corrugated bedrock!" See all these reviews: 13n in Namibia
"Halali - good location within Etosha"
My accommodation at the camp was on the very edge and I faced scrub and forest, and at night it gave a real feel on being IN the bush! There was a an overnight power loss one evening and while I was out on a night game drive, somone had very kindly placed a candle and a box of matches between my screen and front doors, which was a lovely touch I thought.
I founf Halaii's location better suited to the type and variety of waterholes and other places I wanted to visit, and although I saw rhino and some other animals at its fllodlit waterhole, it is almost inevitable a bit of a disappointment after Okaukuejo. But Halali was good fun and agin all the staff were very friendly." See all these reviews: 8n in Namibia
"Just another government run lodge"
"Halali Rest Camp"
Saw herd of elephants twice.
Tourist shop much better than Okaukuejo and food better. Smaller made it more friendly." See all these reviews: 8n in Namibia
"Halali Camp review"
"Halali Camp review"
The food in the restaurant was adequate, but the fact that they BBQed in doors both in the evening and for breakfast meant that it was very smelly.
The floodlit waterhole was well worth the visit and is well designed to accommodate a number of people." See all these reviews: 24n in Namibia; 11n in South Africa
"a different view of Etosha"
Halali was a little more wooded than Okaukuejo. again a lovely stay." See all these reviews: 12n in Namibia; 2n in Botswana
"Halali Camp review"
A mini – bar is now provided but there is no bottle opener.
The pool looked very inviting.
We saw little at the waterhole, though we only visited during daylight hours.
This was the only camp at which we had to wait for someone to check the room before we got our deposit back.
Again we used the braai provided (this time crockery and cutlery were provided) so cannot comment on dinner. Breakfast was fine, though the chef wasn't as outgoing and entertaining as his colleague at Okaukeujo." See all these reviews: 16n in Namibia; 2n in Zambia; 1n in Botswana
