Halali

Halali camp is situated in the centre of Etosha between Okaukuejo and Namutoni camps and lies at the base of a dolomite hill, under the shade of Mopane and Moringa trees. The camp is easily accessible either through the Anderson or Von Lindequist entrance gate. 

It is our favorite camp as it is quiet and has friendly staff who's  focus is on providing guest with a comfortable and enjoyable stay.... we can highly recommend Halali Camp.  

Halali camp offers a small shop that stocks essentials and curios, they have a petrol station and a lovely swimming pool next to the restaurant......

Please keep cash on hand when using the petrol station or the shop....

Food and Drink

The large restaurant, has both indoor and outdoor seating which leads to the bar and swimming pool, they also have a small kiosk that provides small snacks and light meals. The food is good but we still like to braai....

Accommodation

All the accommodation was renovated in 2008...

The Honeymoon chalets; have a bar fridge, tea and coffee station and a private garden area with a jacuzzi........

each comfortably furnished with queen-sized bed and a large en-suite bathroom.

The Family and Bush chalets, are comfortable, with one or two bedrooms......

and with two ¾ beds, a bathroom and a small lounge area. They have a bar fridge, tea and coffee station and limited crockery and cutlery. We take our own picnic bag that has everything in it that we will need..... 

Both the bush and family chalets have a covered veranda with table and chairs and built in braai...

Some chalets have one bedroom, a bathroom with a small living area, a bar fridge, a tea and coffee station and outdoor chairs and table on a small patio.....

They do not have braai facilities, so we use our go anywhere braai.....

Please don't think that the rooms are not 'as good' as the chalets, they are just smaller- each room is superbly decorated, with air-conditioners, tea and coffee station, a bar fridge. The sliding door leads to a covered patio; they don't have no braai facilities....

These rooms below do not have patios.....  

Halali has a large campsite with electricity, hot and cold water, communal kitchen and ablutions and braai facilities and some shade.....

Activities

Moringa's floodlit waterhole is an easy and safe walk within the fenced area of Halali camp, they also provide parking at the bottom of the pathway leading to the waterhole if you need to use your vehicle. We use our vehicle because of all our photographic equipment.....

There is a large covered area that provides guests with some shade while game viewing....

It is a great spot to photograph the setting sun and for silhouettes......

Some regular visitors like elephants, black rhino, spotted hyena, owls, african wild cat, scrub hares, honey badgers, lions and the resident leopard that drinks at the waterhole most night!

the raised seating area, is great for capturing animal reflections day or night..... 

we enjoy watching and photographing the behavior of the animals that visit the waterhole......

Take a walk round camp and look out for owls, honey badger at night, scorpions, ground squirrels, tree squirrels and the many birds....

In the image below, we caught this Scops owl as it left its nest in a hollowed out tree stump.....

The Honey badger is often seen in the waterholes's parking area or near the campers where is likes to raid the bins.....

There is a lovely walk up the Moringa hill, we love to go up for sunrise photographs or to photograph the Moringa trees......

The area around Halali  provides a number of good waterholes; Goas for its large breeding herd of elephant and Salvadora for lions, zebras and the bird life....
