OkaukuejoIn Okaukuejo
Okaukuejo is the main area of tourist activity inside Etosha National Park, and with its flood-lit waterhole, where visitors can observe at close quarters a spectacle of wildlife congregating and interacting; it is aptly known as the “Wildlife Theatreâ€.
Okaukuejo, located 17 km from the southern entrance of the park, was the first tourist camp to open in Etosha. The camp can be reached by driving north from Outjo on the C38. This road leads to Etosha National Park's Andersson Gate - and from here it is only a few 'game viewing' kilometers to Okaukuejo
Accommodation is provided to suit every need, in premier double-storey waterhole chalets with balconies overlooking the waterhole; waterhole bush chalet double rooms, bush chalets, family chalets and double rooms.
