Okaukuejo Campsite

The sun goes down, the lights around the waterhole come on. Elephants, lions and sometimes black rhino arrive to drink while you stay right where you are.

Discover everything about this accommodation

Okaukuejo Restcamp lies in the south of Etosha National Park, 17 kilometres from Anderson Gate. The camp is easy to recognise by its characteristic stone tower. Okaukuejo is also the administrative centre of Etosha, and the Etosha Ecological Institute is based at the camp.

The waterhole is the focal point. Animal activity starts early in the morning, with game tending to gather closer to the camp during the winter.

After sunset, spotlights illuminate the waterhole. Black rhino are regularly seen here, sometimes drinking alongside lions and elephants. There is no need to head out again, stay seated and watch what arrives.

The sun rises over the dunes of Sossusvlei. An elephant appears at a waterhole in Etosha. And further along, the lush landscapes of the Okavango and Chobe await. Over these nineteen days, you travel through three countries, with the freedom to make your own choices along the way. You camp in remarkable places, swap gravel roads for 4x4 tracks and finish with two nights at Victoria Falls. The final stretch? You can leave the driving to someone else.

A lion beside the track. An elephant slowly crossing your path. And at night, the sounds of the bush, right beside your rooftop tent. On this self-drive journey, you travel from Namibia's desert landscapes to Botswana's national parks, where the adventure takes on a new dimension. For four days, you venture deep into the wilderness, tackling rugged sandy tracks and staying at unfenced campsites. Your journey ends at Victoria Falls. You return your 4x4 in Kasane and leave the final stretch to someone else.
