Namibia

Okaukuejo Camp

PLAN MY TRIP

Easily identified by its stone tower, Okaukuejo Camp was the first camp to be established in Etosha National Park.

The camp offers a variety of accommodations. For the budget conscious traveler, forty double rooms offer comfortable lodgings with en-suite bathrooms, fridge, and tea station. While the twenty-five bush chalets feature an additional lounge area. Thirty waterhole chalets consist of comfortable double rooms and are located closer to the camp’s busy waterhole. The five premier waterhole chalets are double story cottages, each with two bedrooms and a balcony overlooking the waterhole. For families and groups, the two family chalets are self-catering units including two bedrooms, a kitchenette, and barbeque area.

Etosha National Park, or Etosha, as it is fondly and locally known, is one of the largest savanna conservations in Africa and is world renowned for its spectacular wildlife. Visitors are amazed at the accessibility to large numbers of elephant, black and white rhinoceros, lion, leopard, and cheetah, as well as herds of innumerable springbok, zebra, wildebeest, giraffe, and a multitude of other fascinating species. Access to the camp is through Anderson Gate at the western end of the park. The main attraction of Okaukuejo Camp is its floodlit waterhole frequented by large numbers of animals. There is always something happening at the waterhole, although the hottest hours see fewest wildlife coming to the waterhole.

Activities while at Okaukuejo Camp center around game viewing, whether in a private vehicle or on guided morning and afternoon game drives. Some of the smaller animals found here include jackal, bat-eared fox, warthog, honey badger, and ground squirrel. In fact, 114 species of mammals live in Etosha, as well as, 350 bird species. Namibia Wildlife Resorts has recently introduced guided night drives, which until recently were not allowed in Etosha. Throughout the night until dawn it is not uncommon to have black rhinoceros, elephant, and lion all drinking at the same time.

Formerly a military outpost founded in 1901, the camp is the administrative center for Etosha and houses the Etosha Ecological Institute. A popular rest stop, the camp’s restaurant provides a selection of delicious dishes either on the buffet or a la carte. A range of alcoholic beverages and wines are also available. In addition to the restaurant, there is a bar, a gas station, and a curio shop. The camp’s refreshing swimming pool lets guests cool off and unwind during the heat of the day.
