Important Notes:
Wildlife Viewing & The Olifantsrus Hide - One of the key attractions of Olifantsrus Campsite is the state-of-the-art double-storey hide overlooking a man-made waterhole. This waterhole has become particularly popular with elephants, hence the camp’s name, Olifantsrus (which translates as Elephant’s Rest).
Engineered for peaceful game viewing, this unusual hide is a double story building (hut) with aluminium glasses around it overlooking the waterhole.
As far as general game viewing is concerned, rare and shy species such as black rhino and black-faced impala are well-established in this quieter part of Etosha Park.
