Klein Namutoni Waterhole

Klein Namutoni

A small waterhole just a few kilometers from Namutoni camp, very quick to reach, where lions, elephants and giraffes often appear, a must-visit at dawn

Klein Namutoni waterhole lies about 3 km east of Namutoni camp and is the first viewing spot guests reach after the gates open. Surrounded by open grassland and acacia woodland, it often has lions resting by the water, giraffes splaying their front legs to drink, and elephant herds arriving in procession. Nearby, the short Dik-Dik Drive loop offers a chance to see Damara dik-diks. Because it's close to camp, it's also worth a return visit before the gates close in the evening.
