Okaukuejo Waterhole
Okaukuejo
The most famous floodlit waterhole in Etosha, right beside the camp wall. At night, black rhinos, elephants and lions often come to drink in turn.
The waterhole sits right next to Okaukuejo Camp, the park's administrative centre, about 17 kilometres from Anderson Gate in the south. Outside the wall there are stepped viewing platforms and benches. At night the waterhole is floodlit, and guests can watch through the night. Black rhinos are very likely to appear. During the day, zebras, springbok, giraffes and elephant herds visit. The camp also has a lookout tower you can climb, a petrol station, a shop and a restaurant. Accommodation at the camp must be booked in advance on the NWR official website. When taking photos here, keep quiet and do not use flash.
