Namutoni Camp

NamutoniIn Namutoni

Namutoni is situated on the eastern side of Etosha pan, just inside the von Lindequist entrance to Etosha National Park. It is an improbably beautiful Beau Geste-style fort situated in an area dotted with graceful makalani palms and Hyphaene petersiana and it derives its name from the old German fort around which it is built and it overlooks the King Nehale waterhole.

The presence of this fort undoubtedly gives Namutoni more character than the other rest camps inside the park. It is also the closest camp to the picturesque Fisher's Pan, so expect great concentrations of waterbirds around here when it's wet - including a breeding colony of flamingos.

Namutoni's accommodation was completely re-furnished in 2007. Theer are 20 bush chalets and 24 double rooms. All rooms have en-suite facilities of a bath and shower, a toilet, mini-bar, air-conditioning and a tea/coffee station. Mosquito nets are fitted to the front and back doors.
