Olifantsbad Waterhole
Olifantsbad
A waterhole southeast of Okaukuejo whose name means “elephant bath,” where herds come to drink and bathe, with a picnic area nearby
Olifantsbad lies about 30 km southeast of Okaukuejo, surrounded by bush. In the dry season, elephant herds come to drink and wallow in the mud, and you may also see impala, bushbuck and giraffe. The waterhole has a fenced picnic area and restrooms, making it a good spot for a break. It can be looped with the Nebrownii and Gemsbokvlakte waterholes. Gravel roads in the park have a speed limit of 60 km/h, so watch for animals crossing the road.
