Etosha advice...

Country forums / Africa / Namibia

Hi all.....I have 2 nights in June that I can stay in Etosha, and I have my own transport and will definitely be able to drive around.

Should I stay in Okaukuejo for two nights and do a day trip or should I spend one night in Okauk. and one night elsewhere....either Halali or Namutoni? I really get the feeling from my reading that being at Okaukuejo will probably be the best place for animals. I've read in several blogs that people wish they had spent more time at Okaukuejo and less time elsewhere? Do you prefer Halali and Namutoni and why?

Thanks in advance for your responses!

I've preferred Okaukuejo the couple of times I've been to Etosha, but have always had time to stay at more than one place. If you stay at different places, you can make it a morning's or evening's drive getting from one to the other. But with only two days I'd say it's fine to spend them both at the same place.

I would also stay at okaukuejo for 2 nights. With 2 nights "only" in etosha, i dont see an advantage in staying in 2 different camps.
