Great park. The newly refurbished rooms are expensive compared to South Africa, but lovely. I'll pay anything for an outdoor shower. Wildlife is great, although a bit sparse due to the terrain in the park. I wouldn't want to spend weeks here, like I could in Kruger, but it is still well worth it's reputation.

Etsoha is a popular tourist destination for the foreigner with the big 5 as a major attraction. The camp sites are busy which we try steer clear of.

A vast park (over 22000sqkm) where although there are quite a few visitors there is plenty of space to get lost in, and the wildlife there from the minute you enter.

There was always an animal to see, but finding the big 5 is a challenge. Salt pans and bush are cool to see, but I wouldn't necessarily describe them as breathtakingly beautiful.

We saw lions, rhions amongst an array of animals - a great experience.

It's 10 o'clock in the morning at Chudop waterhole. Springbok and impalas are at the water. Shy kudus stand at the edge of bushes, slowly coming closer. Nervous giraffes double and triple check their surroundings before bending way down for a drink. Thirsty zebras come trotting right into the water, causing wonderful stripey reflections. Where else can you find such a huge selection of animals coming to drink together. It is possible to spend hours just sitting at a waterhole, watching the comings and goings. Playful elephants, goofy guinea fowl, a bad tempered rhino and shuffling wildebeest all take their turns. It is a wildlife paradise!

A lovely destination. The only reason that bush vibe is marked down is because it was one of the few times we stayed in an up-market resort

Fantastic place full of wildlife, except lions (we didn't see any in 3 days). It's a place where lots of visitors drive their own car, so no "bush vibe". Halali Camp would definitely deserve a better service

This is the most visited park for wildlife in Namibia and therefore more tourists (less in the rainy season) the sites within the park have good facilities and filling stations.
