Okaukuejo Restcamp

Okaukuejo restcamp is the largest of the three camps (the others are Halali and Namutoni) in Etosha. It is also the oldest tourist camp in Etosha and it currently functions as the administrative hub of the park, and the home of the Etosha Ecological Institute. It is situated near the western border of the Etosha National Park.

Accommodation is provided to suit every need, in premier bush chalets overlooking the waterhole; bush chalets and double rooms; or family chalets.  Other facilities include a restaurant, bar, shop, swimming pool, kiosk and camping facilities.

This camp is famous as it overlooks a permanent waterhole which is floodlit at night. Here a wide diversity of wildlife congregates and interacts. The spectacle starts at dawn, with animals coming in large numbers to quench their thirst, with the activity continuing throughout the day and deep into the night. In the early evenings, it is not uncommon to have black rhinoceros, elephant and lion all drinking at the same time.
