"Halali Camp review"

1 night Arrived 31 Jul 2011
"Slightly smaller rooms than at Okaukuejo but still very nice.

We drove down to the waterhole, though it was easily walkable. Fantastic experience at sunset as 12 elephants arrived, complete with two babies.

Food lovely here too and restaurant accommodated us eating in two sittings while one of us stayed and looked after our youngest son, who was poorly. Credit card payments not a problem here and quick too." See all these reviews: 11n in Namibia

2 nights Arrived 29 Jul 2011
"Very comfortable rooms, lovely staff, very good food, felt peaceful and well organized.

Easy access to waterhole plus for driving to see game (it was a bit further to waterholes but worth the drive). Again, we drove ourselves and didn't take part in any organized activities." See all these reviews: 14n in Namibia

"Halali Camp review"

1 night Arrived 24 Jul 2011
"Dinner on the night we were there was a "special" barbeque at increased cost over normal and the meat was inedible it was so tough. Other people we spoke to later also commented adversely on the buffet that night.

Otherwise good accomodation but the waterhole is some distance from the accomodation area. There were at least 30 elephants there during the afternoon which made it very worthwhile." See all these reviews: 12n in Namibia

"A nice quiet camp"

1 night Arrived 16 Jul 2011
"Halali is lovely and peaceful after Okaukeujo, but the food was not any better. We had booked an inside table for dinner but they didn't have enough tables so we ate outside, which in fact was better as the inside restaurant was so noisy. The rooms are good, but the bathroom extremely small. The staff are helpful - on a previous visit the manager had assisted us with dealing with the car hire company, as we'd had a hole in our petrol tank. He was still there and remembered the occasion."

"Halali Camp"

2 nights Arrived 16 Jul 2011
"We expected more from this camp than from Okaukuejo, where we had stayed for the two previous nights, but were severely disappointed

The chalets were nice, but dinner on the first night was unedible with some salads being served being the left-overs from lunch-time. We therefore on the second day decided to try out lunch at Namutoni, which was lovely and just buy grocery supply for sandwiches for supper.In addition we found that the waterholes near Namutoni were a lot more frequented than the ones around Halali.

We would not go back to Halali but next time stay in Namotomi, which has both a lovely restaurant and well stocked shop.

There were clearly not enough waiters and it felt like a school canteen." See all these reviews: 17n in Namibia

"Halali Camp review"

3 nights Arrived 15 Jul 2011
"Halali is inside Etosha and therefore is in a great location.

Early one morning (around 5:30) we saw two rhino at the water hole. Water hole did not seem to attract as many animals as Okaukuejo, but was much quieter and has much better ambiance." See all these reviews: 19n in Namibia

"Halali Camp review"

2 nights Arrived 7 Jul 2011
"We know not to expect 5 star accommodation in Etosha Park and we were pleased with the upgrades in the accommodation from 9 years ago. Unfortunately the meals still leave alot to be desired.

After a very disappointing evening meal we then self catered for the rest of our stay in Etosha. This was a challenge given the very very limited supplies in Halali and Okaukuejo camp shops but still much preferable to the restaurant" See all these reviews: 8n in Namibia

"Halali Camp review"

2 nights Arrived 13 Jun 2011
"We were upgraded to a larger 4 bed bungalow and had fun cooking on the braai for ourselves, having brought the meat etc from outside the Park. (The shop had a very poor selection and almost no meat.) The bungalow had crockery and cutlery for the braai. Ate dinner in the restaurant one night which was was extremely expensive and mediocre, not recommended.

Domestic and tourist information staff very helpful.

The floodlit waterhole proved disappointing for animals, though we did see a few. The seats were uncomfortable and rather cramped and noisy when lots of guests arrived." See all these reviews: 21n in Namibia

"Halali- good location, small waterhole"

1 night Arrived 1 Jun 2011
"Halali camp was a pleasant experience. The room was basic but clean and the restaurant was fine. The highlight of staying here is the small waterhole that they have at the back of the compound. We sat there in the evenings and watched a couple of rhino come to drink. If one is planning to cover as much of Etosha as possible then Halali is a must because the distance between Namutoni and Okaukeujo is too great to be able to cover all the central waterholes as well."
