Dolomite & Olifantsrus : tout pour préparer ton voyage

This part lies right in the west of the national park. The area was only opened to all visitors in 2014 and is still less visited than the rest of the park. The area is not only flat but also hilly.

Pourquoi tu vas adorer cet endroit

Discover the quieter west side of Etosha – Between Dolomite and Olifantsrus you experience Etosha as much more remote, quiet and unspoilt than around the large camps in the centre and east.
Watch wildlife at remote waterholes – On the tracks in western Etosha you can spot elephants, giraffes, zebras, antelopes and, with a bit of luck, also lions or black rhinoceros at little-visited waterholes.
Stay close to the wilderness at Olifantsrus Campsite – The small campsite at Olifantsrus is in a particularly quiet part of the park. Here you can round off your safari day in the hide with a view of the waterhole.

L’essentiel en un coup d’œil

Special feature – Western Etosha is considered much more remote and less visited than the central areas of the park.
Landscape – In this region you find dry plains, mopane bush, open savannahs and wide, rugged landscapes.
Atmosphere – You often encounter only a few other vehicles on the roads and the region feels much more unspoilt.
Safari feel – Game drives in the west often feel calmer and wilder than in the rest of Etosha.
Waterholes – Many waterholes are far apart. Wildlife sightings are still very good.
Dolomite – The camp with chalets is set on higher ground in a rocky landscape and offers wide views over western Etosha.
Olifantsrus – The campsite is particularly well known for its large waterhole and the two-level viewing hide. The latter is also accessible at night.
Infrastructure – Facilities in the west are much more limited than in central Etosha.
Roads – The main routes are usually easy to drive but the distances between waterholes are often greater.
Opening times – Camp and gate times follow sunrise and sunset. The exact times are posted daily.
Climate – During the day it is usually very hot and dry, at night it can cool down considerably, especially in the African winter.
Mobile network & internet – Reception is usually limited or non-existent.
