"Halali Camp review"

3 nights Arrived 29 Aug 2014
"Really enjoyed the long night drive. Guide was excellent and spotted unusual animals. On moving to self catering realised there was no light working in the kitchen and it was dark. This was fixed very quickly. We found all staff friendly and helpful.

Pleased to see black rhino and other animals and birds at waterhole which we visited every evening. Well worthwhile

Enjoyed cooking our own evening meal as vegetarians are not really catered for. Usually no protein except at breakfast throughout whole trip with one exception." See all these reviews: 15n in Namibia

"Great experience at Halali"

1 night Arrived 22 Aug 2014
"Very similar experience as Okaukuejo. Fab rooms, really well run camp with nice swimming pool.
Really lovely situation round the waterhole with loads of animals.
Dinner similar as Okaukuejo , though this time the buffet was full and tidy but the food not quite as good.
Loved having loads of time in Etosha, really special" See all these reviews: 11n in Namibia

1 night Arrived 13 Aug 2014
"Typical of state run accommodation. Basic but clean. Food good.

Jewel however is the floodlit water hole which was a fantastic experience, with lots of game coming down to drink. Certainly worth staying here just to experience a water hole at night" See all these reviews: 12n in Namibia

"Halali Camp review"

2 nights Arrived 7 Aug 2014
"We chose Halali because we wanted a smaller more intimate experience within Etosha and because of its central position.

Although the camp was smaller and less crowded than Okaukuejo they appeared unable to cope with the number of guests present at mealtimes - we had to queue for more than 20 minutes on both evenings, in spite of having booked a specific time slot for the meal. This was probably due to the large number of people on the campsite; several school and scout parties joined the host of occupants of overland pantechnicons and family campers crowding the site.

In spite of the scrum at mealtimes, we don't regret staying here, The waterhole attracted, amongst others, large herds of elephant, spotted hyena, lion, an African wild cat and three rhinos, who proceeded to fence with each other before enjoying a drink as the post-sunset sky turned purple behind them.

The waterholes around the camp were good places to view wildlife too." See all these reviews: 17n in Namibia

"Halali Camp review"

1 night Arrived 6 Aug 2014
"This is the one place we probably wouldn't choose to stay at again. It has a great location in the centre of the park and there was nothing wrong with our room. But the evening meal service was chaotic and the food not very good. We had to queue for ages as they had run out of vegetables, and people were getting very irritable. I'm not sure if we were just unlucky or if it's always like this. We didn't do any organised activities.

We enjoyed the water hole but preferred the one at Okaukuejo as we saw more wildlife and there was more room to watch." See all these reviews: 14n in Namibia

"Nice camp..."

1 night Arrived 5 Aug 2014
"Well outdoor maintenance
Food not organized well...people standing ...lack of care to renew empty servings.
Our assigned rooms were too far apart
After long conversation at the front desk we got stories they thought we are two families
While we knew the information we gave was of helping us maintain safety and closure to our son.
When we finally got the closer rooms....we found out that the new one...was much better maintained and equipped compared to The assigned ones. By the way this repeated to be true in other places we needed to ask for a room change." See all these reviews: 10n in Namibia

1 night Arrived 28 Jul 2014
"Rather the same as for Okakeujo, except this one was a bit more depressing.

The chalets felt a little like a UK 1960s housing estate and the meals were not that great - though they were acceptable." See all these reviews: 14n in Namibia

"Adequate"

1 night Arrived 18 Jul 2014
"Lacks the spectacular water hole and feels rather soulless. We were only here for a night, and that was enough. Lacks atmosphere, which is strange in such an amazing geography. Rooms functional. Again, no atmosphere, and the place does not feel "cared for"." See all these reviews: 7n in Namibia

"Halali Camp review"

2 nights Arrived 11 Jul 2014
"We have rated this as excellent - perhaps not in comparison to the private lodges but as a very good example of excellent value for money, good, clean rooms, good food and reasonable facilities, We stayed in a Family Chalet which had an outdoor terrace with braai, deck area, small kitchen area (with small electric oven, hot plate, full pots and pans etc), sitting room, two bedrooms and a shower room. All of these facilities were basic but pleasant and clean.

The buffet dinner was very good (soup or salad, choice of meat with rice, vegetables followed by choice of three desserts and coffee) - the meat was cooked to perfection every time. The shop at Halali had limited supplies. We spent two great afternoons and early evenings at the waterhole with great rhino sightings." See all these reviews: 12n in Namibia
