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.....
