"Halali Camp review"
"Halali Camp review"
the water hole is a great locaion to sit and see many animals.
Halali is a great pit stop for all types of traveller." See all these reviews: 13n in Namibia
"Halali Camp review"
The flood lit water hole was great and the camp was more peaceful and less crowded that Okaukuejo!" See all these reviews: 14n in Namibia; 1n in South Africa
"Halali, base for central Etosha"
"Halali Restcamp review"
Unfortunately, we were disappointed with a number of aspects of Halali - in particular the food and attitude of some of the staff. The food was quite clearly wheeled out again from the previous evening with most items being barely passable for consumption. A shame because basic food can still be done well with a bit of care and effort.
On the plus side the one bedroom chalet was very clean and functional and the waterhole was a joy of an evening.
We visited both of the government run rest camps during our stay and from what we saw would stay next time at Namutoni which appeared to have far more character and better facilities.
We would have gone on one of the night drives but felt that that 3 hours was too long after a full day of viewing game." See all these reviews: 14n in Namibia
"Much better than Okankuejo"
The staff had been to a different training school and were freindly and helpful.
The waterhole, although further from the accommodation, provided a much more pleasant and restful environment." See all these reviews: 16n in Namibia
"Small and less busy"
The staff at the restaurant is friendly but they don't keep it so clean ( we have seen food and drinks on the floor and they haven't cleaned it when remarked).
In fact we found Namibia the cleanest country we ever visited and this restaurant did not belong !" See all these reviews: 19n in Namibia
"Halali Restcamp review"
Waterhole small, poorly lit cramped viewing area and 15 minutes' walk from chalets - many used their cars. Visitors limited to rhino, elephant and jackal. Outside the camp we saw lots of red hartebeeste, giraffe, elephant, impala, springbok, oryx, wildebeeste, warthogs, a dik-dik but missed the leopard near Namutoni!
Large swimming pool. Dim lighting in the room.
We did more driving in this area but it had the bonus of small antelopes - steenbok and dik-dik." See all these reviews: 14n in Namibia; 9n in Botswana
"Halali Restcamp review"
The buffets were very good too.
Of course, the rates have gone up quite steeply in the meantime and we objected to paying the admission charge for each day that
we stayed in the park." See all these reviews: 18n in Namibia
"Any Etosha camp is worthy of a long stay"
The food in the restaurant was very good and the chef made excellent omelettes for breakfast.
The waterhole has a large seating area and never fails to draw rhinos at night." See all these reviews: 10n in Namibia; 6n in Botswana
