Okaukuejo Camp

What to ExpectFacilitiesAttractions and ActivitiesWaterholesNotice

Okaukuejo Camp offers one of the best waterholes inside Etosha National Park. The camp is located in the park, only 17 km from the Anderson Gate's southern entrance. Furthermore, there's something for every taste as Okaukuejo offers camping and chalet accommodation.

It is the oldest tourist camp in Etosha and the administrative centre of the park. Okaukuejo is also home to the Etosha Ecological Institute. A selection of accommodations is available to provide you with high comfort.

The most popular of the accommodation options are the premier waterhole chalets. These overlook the floodlit waterhole at Okaukuejo – the main attraction of this camp. The area is floodlit at night, so guests can enjoy the variety of wildlife surrounding the Okaukuejo Camp. The wildlife congregates and interacts, from lions to rhinos, elephants and antelope.

The spectacle starts at dawn, with animals coming in large numbers to quench their thirst. Then the activity continues throughout the day until late at night. After that, in the early evenings, it is common to have a black rhino, elephant, and lion – all drinking simultaneously!
