I think I booked Dolomite via TUI in Germany and it was maybe 20,-- € more than the other camps, don't remember exactly, the wildlife in western Etosha is not used to cars since it only was opened to visitors 3 years ago or so, so they do tend to run away when they see a car.

While we were at Dolomite others saw a big herd of elephant drinking at the water hole at Dolomite, right time right place, we missed it, next morning we left and some people told us that lions had a kill in the afternoon before, we turned onto the road to leave Etosha and whats laying right in the middle of the road with a real big belly? A lioness she was so lazy, took her awhile to clear the road and then I could shoot pics at an armlength distance, this is Etosha not a zoo, so there is no garanty that you see more wild life around Anderson Gate, Halali or Namutoni than Dolomite.

This sounds so extremely awesome, can't wait to go there! Our itinerary now says four nights there, which seems about right. Just need to swap one of the nights for a night at Dolomite, I guess, and maybe the tree top camp as well, looks so good.

Thank you all for participating in the thread, your advice is highly appreciated!

in case you haven't rented the car yet - we rented through cardboard box tours and their prices and amenities seem quite good.
