Good base for game viewing in East Etosha
Very similar to the Okaukuejo camp in most respects.
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.
Halali Camp review
This again is our third visit to Halali Camp. This camp appears to be better managed than Okaukuejo, dining is a far more pleasant experience with better service and quality of food on offer.
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.
Halali camp
Halali camp was better than expected.
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
Halali was a pleasant surprise
same comments as for first stay here [Ed: see below]

We didn't have high expectations for this camp, but it worked very well for us & is a good base for the eastern part of Etosha. It's a huge & busy camp & consequently rather impersonal.
The rooms we had were slightly scruffy decor wise, but are functional, have good beds and are clean. The inventory check was bizarre, but I assume it's to deter groups of guests just moving stuff from one room to another & not returning it.
Food was very good in the restaurant (gluten free easily sorted) & not expensive.
The water hole is charming as it's not too big - we were lucky enough to witness a few 'visits' whilst we were there including a rhino.
small simple and fairly quiet
Quieter that the park headquarters. generally the service was better.
Rooms simple but perfectly acceptable. Served breakfast on time.
Halali was a pleasant surprise
a very pleasant recently updated room with zircon, kettle, large fridge, good quality bedding
we stayed here for two nights and returned later for another two nights. There was little wildlife at the waterhole on the numerous occasions we went there.
The food is good for one night but tends to be the same every night with just the choice of meat changing.
Overall a pleasant place to stay
Halali Camp review
Enjoyed the night drive.
Our 2nd time to Etosha, wonderful self game drives. .
Slightly scruffy but well located Camp
Upon arrival at Halali we were slightly disappointed with the quality of this Camp. Our hearts sank more when we reached our bush chalet which was quite dark and uninspiring inside and out. However the food provided in the restaurant was good. The Watering Hole (which seems to have great following) we visited several times but we personally found it was not particularly good for photography because the viewing / seating area is so high in relation to the water hole and one is shooting downwards. But we did see some nice wildlife here. We spent each day out in Etosha park anyway so this eased our time spent in our drab chalet. We do appreciate that this is a state owned facility and therefore wont be up to the same standard as private. This part of Etosha is pretty good for exploring and we saw much wildlife in the various water holes located in this area. The ROADS are VERY ROUGH here and our VW VAN held up well under the circumstances.
