A wild adventure with your Family
B
iltong, snacks, binoculars, field guides... and don’t forget the kids. Finding something for young and old to enjoy is not always easy, but the wonders of Etosha National Park and its wildlife have always been an experience that can be shared across all ages.
When choosing family accommodation inside the park it is important to take the age of the children into consideration and what they will enjoy the most. The main camps of Okaukuejo, Halali and Namutoni are popular with family groups. Each camp has a swimming pool where the kids can keep themselves busy splashing around for hours, especially on hot days. The casual atmosphere and ample space of these camps make them more kid-friendly than Dolomite or Onkoshi Resorts. Olifantsrus is smaller than the other camps and caters exclusively for campers, but the hide at the waterhole allows you to get incredibly close to the animals. To see elephants and other game drink water almost within touching distance will fascinate any child (and adult.) Olifantsrus does not have a swimming pool or restaurant, only a shop with basic snack options such as sandwiches. Booking well in advance is important as accommodation is limited and fills up quickly.
