Fort Namutoni
Namutoni
A white German colonial fort in the eastern camp, built in the early 20th century, now a camp and viewpoint where you can climb the walls for sunset
Namutoni Fort was originally a police post for the German colonial authorities. In 1904 it was besieged by Ovambo warriors and destroyed, and it was later rebuilt as a white, castle-like building. It is now part of the NWR camp. Inside are small exhibition panels, a shop and a restaurant, and in the evening you can climb the tower to watch the sunset. The floodlit Namutoni waterhole lies outside the camp. The camp is about 10 km from the Von Lindequist Gate on the east side, making it a base for entering the park from the east or visiting Fischer's Pan.
Opening hours
Camp open all day (non-guests must visit within park hours)
