Okaukuejo, located 17km from the southern entrance of the park Anderson Gate,
was the first tourist camp to open in Etosha.
Okaukuejo Camp is famous for its flood-lit waterhole where visitors can observe at close quarters a spectacle of wildlife congregating and interacting at all times of day or night.
Spread out across several areas, the first area you will come to in Okaukuejo Camp is the entrance area. This is where you will find Okaukuejo reception, souvineer shop, basic food supply shop, post office, kiosk for light snacks, a restaurant and the swimming pool.
Moving further into Okaukuejo Camp you will find the rooms & chalets, leading on to the waterhole.
The camping area can be found on the west side of Okaukuejo Camp and a small fuel station on the east side of Okaukuejo.
Most of the accommodation at Okaukuejo is provided by rooms and bush chalets.
All rooms have tea stations and fridges, and the bush chalets also have a braai
stand (BBQ).
The waterhole bush chalets are the chalets closest to the waterhole, although please note that since they are at ground level there is no clear view of the waterhole from the chalets themselves.
The most prestigious chalets are the premier waterhole chalets which are double-story chalets situated close to the waterhole and with balconies on the first floor overlooking the waterhole.
There are two family chalets which are fully equipped for self catering, often booked up more than a year in advance.
Situated on the west side of Okaukuajo Camp the camping sites at Okaukuejo are well equipped with braai stands (BBQ), electricity and water points. The communal ablution blocks (tloilet and showers) are shared betwee sites.
Being inside Etosha National Park the main reason for sataying at Okaukuejo is for the wildlife. Okaukuejo has its own flood-lit waterhole so you can continue your game viewing well into the night if you wish.
When you are not out enjoying watching the animals and birds of Etosha then you there are a number of other facilities in Okaukuejo Camp for guests to enjoy including relaxing at the swimming pool or having a drink or a meal at Okaukuejo restaurant or bar.
