Halali Rest Camp

Halali occupies the middle ground of the park, roughly equidistant between Okaukuejo and Namutoni. It's the smallest of the three main camps and the least crowded, which is why serious wildlife viewers often use it as their base. The waterhole here requires a short walk from the car park, and sits on a rocky promontory with good views across the open pan in one direction and mopane woodland in the other.

The bush around Halali is particularly good for leopard and cheetah, and the rocky hills nearby attract klipspringers — small antelope that somehow manage to stand on the tips of single hooves on vertical rock faces. The camp's restaurant is modest but functional, and the bungalows are quieter than those at Okaukuejo.

A story
Halali sits on a low dolomite hill that gives the camp its name — "halali" is a German hunting call signalling the end of the chase. The hills around it contain some of the oldest rock engravings in Namibia, made by the San people long before any European set foot in the country.
