Olifantsrus

Olifantsrus Etosha National Park

A state of the art and modern double storey hide-out, located outside the fencing around the camp, affords endless opportunities for close-up game viewing. The waterhole is lit at night and guests can enjoy all night interaction with the wildlife visiting the waterhole to replenish their water-needs.

The Western part of the Etosha National Park had been off-limits to the general public for many years since the establishment of the Park. The sad history of the management activities taking place in this part of Etosha is displayed at the Tourist Information Centre at Olifantsrus.
