The camp at Halali has a waterhole that is located a few minutes walk from most of the accommodation. This means there is less background noise to disturb wildlife, but does mean that a torch is essential to find your way back to the accommodation. The viewing area at the waterhole is raised, so people look down at the waterhole. There are a couple fo benches, but most people sit on the rocks, so it can get cold when seated for long periods. The waterhole can get quite busy at night, with plenty of rhino sightings, as well as hyena, elephants and other wildlife.

The camp is unfortunately not very close to any of the other waterholes in the park. This means that if you are staying the night at Halali, you need to leave whichever waterhole you are at well before sunset to ensure you are back at the camp before the gates are locked.
