Hobas,
Fish River Canyon |
Lovely treed campsite -
no grass. Sites have electricity BUT it runs off a generator
which breaks down regularly. Clean ablutions with hot
showers only if the generator is working. |
| Klein Aus Vista |
A wonderful oasis in the
desert. New, clean ablutions. Hot water is supplied by
gas, so get the mix of hot and cold just right for a lovely
shower. Splash out and have dinner in the cost restaurant or visit
the friendly pub for a drink. |
N$100-00 for two persons.

There's nothing here but
a few big trees! The ablutions are in a very poor state of
repair and there is no hot water. |
N$200-00 for two
including the fee for the Castle visit and the Conservation
levies. |

Clean ablutions with hot

| Gross Barman Hot Springs |
A vast campsite with a
few trees and no grass. There are no electrical points, but
they suggested we plug into the ablution block. Ablutions
were clean with hot showers. Hot spring, indoor hot pool and
outdoor "normal" pool. |
N$110-00 for two persons
per night out of season. |
| Alte Brucke Travel
Lodge, Swakopmund |
WOW! Grassed
sites, each with new private ablutions (shower, handbasin and loo),
washing-up area and braai. Good security. Worth the
money! |
N$150-00 per two persons
per night. |
| Mile 108 |
Right on the beach with
the sea and fog rolling in. There are no facilities to speak
of; longdrop toilets and hot showers for limited periods. We
were the only ones there which is probably why we enjoyed it so
much; it would hellish in holiday season. |
N$120-00 for two persons
per night. |
| Palmwag Lodge,
Damaraland |
Palmwag offers camping,
tented and bungalow accommodation. A lovely spot with a pub
that serves wholesome food. No electricity points at
campsites. |
N$140-00 for two persons

| Khorixas Rest Camp |
This open campsite
offers no privacy, but hot showers and electricity points are at
each campsite. Khorixas has a bank and a general fix-it
workshop, but not much else. |
N$100-00 for two persons
per night. |
| Acacia Campsite, Otjiwarango |
The lovely wall murals
cannot make up for the lack of hot water in the kitchen or
showers! There is a laundry room. No food on the
premises, but there are a number of nice eateries in town. |
N$100-00 for two persons
per night. |
Kamanjab Campsite,
3kms outside Kamanjab |
A lovely well-kept
campsite. Hot water for showers is from a donkey, so make
sure to find out when the fire will be made; usually only in the
late afternoon. A pleasant pub with the chance to see porcupines
at night. |
N$80-00 for two persons
per night. |
| Etosha National Park |
There are three
campsites, all of which have their own waterhole, restaurant,
kiosk and shop. Hot water is usually available (you may have
to scout around for the least crowded ablutions). Booking is
essential in holiday seasons. |
N$180-00 for two
persons per night. |
| Khorub Lodge, Otavi |
A lovely new
campsite. There are only two sites at this stage, each with
it's own private ablutions. There is a pleasant bar and
meals are served in the restaurant if you want a night off.
Electricity, braai areas and a table with benches are provided. We
recommend this one!! |
N$120-00 for two
persons per night. |
Roy's Camp,
north of Grootfontein |
A well established
campsite, rather open and with little privacy. Ablutions are
ethnic and interesting, but there's usually not water.
Electricity at some of sites, a friendly pub and restaurant all
combine to make this a very pleasant stopover. |
N$100-00 for two
persons per night. |
Ngepi Camp,
14kms east of Popa Falls |
Our best campsite
yet! Site 6 is the best as it is on the end and very
private. They have installed electricity on the sites since
our last visit. Sites are lawned and next to the
river. There is a busy pub and a kitchen that serves meals.
The showers and loos are open-air and the water in the showers is
usually hot. Great birding, great atmosphere, great hosts! |
US$5.00 per person per
night |
| Zambezi River Lodge,
Katimo Mulilo |
An adequate place to
spend the night. It's site on the banks of the river is
fabulous, and the bonus is that the sun sets over the river giving
great views. The ablutions are mediocre and the hot water
ran out very quickly. |
N$120-00 for two
persons per night. |
