Is the Okaukuejo Rest Camp for Me?
Famous for its floodlit waterhole, Okaukuejo Rest Camp is also the administrative centre of Etosha.
Most visitors travel through this camp with its characteristic stone tower, and Etosha Ecological Institute is also situated within the centre.
The rest camp was formerly a military outpost founded in 1901, and the tower was added in 1963.
Located in the south of Etosha National Park, Okaukuejo is only 17 km from Anderson Gate.
Okaukuejo offers a wide range of accommodation as well as all the necessities such as a petrol station and a shop.
The restaurant and bar offer refreshments and delicious meals, while the swimming pool provides relief on hot days.
The waterhole is a hub of animal activity starting in the early hours of the morning.
Especially during winter, the diversity of game congregates near the camp to quench their thirst.
After sunset, floodlights illuminate the waterhole.
This archaic mammal can often be seen drinking alongside lion and elephant.
The number and interaction of the animals is the major drawcard of Okaukuejo Rest Camp in Namibia.
The campsite is ideal for the nature lover and offers communal ablution facilities
