Information

Enjoy the day excursions into the Etosha National Park. Almost all of the Etosha National Park and its surroundings may be described as arid to semi-arid savannah with 250-500 mm average annual rainfall and a highly variable and erratic rainfall pattern.

The most dominant tree in the area is like all over the Etosha National Park the Mopane tree. Except for the rainy season, Etosha’s animals are dependent on artificial waterholes and natural springs. Explore the enormous saltpan, which is called the “great white place of dry water ” in a local language.

For the greater part of the year the pan is a place of mirages. Its dry, flat, salt encrusted surface shimmers in the heat with a strange effect of the wild animals seemingly floating in dream-like pools. Seeing vast herds of game against this eerie backdrop makes the Etosha game-viewing experience unique.

Located halfway between Okaukuejo and Namutoni in Etosha National Park amongst shady Mopane trees lies the tranquil Halali Resort, opened in 1967. Halali is in the center of the park and can be reached either via entering the park at Okaukuejo – Andersson Gate or via Namutoni – the Von Lindequist Gate.

The camp, surrounded by some of the most popular waterholes in the park has the added advantage of a secluded, scenic, flood-lit waterhole. The surrounding area lends itself popular to game viewing where in particular Leopard sightings are almost a certainty. The name derived from the sound of traditional German hunting horn used to announce the end of the hunt.

Rooms

Accommodation at Halali is provided in a variety style of rooms to suits our wide range of visitors. All of these rooms have air-conditioning, lamps, tea/coffee station and a mini-fridge. The beds have mosquito nets. In the bathrooms, there is complimentary shampoo, soap, hand and body lotion, as well as soft towels.

About 340 bird species occur in the park, of which approximately one third are migratory, including the European bee-eater and several species of waders. Etosha is one of the most important breeding grounds of Greater and Lesser flamingos in the Southern African region.  During a good rainy season, millions of these birds congregate in the pan to breed. Ten of Etosha’s 35 raptor species are migratory.
Most commonly seen are Lappetfaced and Whitebacked vultures, there are eight species of owls, including the Pearlspotted and Whitefaced, and four species of nightjars.  Halali Resort is famous for its owls, whom you can hear and see at night.

Activities

Etosha National Park’s vegetation varies from dwarf shrub savannah and grasslands, which occur around the pan, to thorn-bush and woodland savannah throughout the park.

A series of waterholes along the southern edge of the pan guarantee rewarding and often spectacular game viewing. In good rain years the panfills with water draining southwards from Angola via a delta-like system of shallow rivers and oshanas, drying out in the winter to become an austere expanse of white cracked mud, shimmering with mirages and upward-spiraling dust devils. Seeing vast herds of game against this eerie back-drop, referred to in the local vernacular as the ‘great white place of drywater’, makes the Etosha game-viewing experience unique.
The Etosha National Park , consisting of 22 270 square kilometres of saline desert, savannah and woodlands, is one of the largest parks in Africa; so take time to visit the park.  No need to rush.
