Namutoni Rest Camp Etosha Park Namibia 04 january 200727 November 2007
The main feature of the camp at Namutoni is an old German fort which dates back to 1906. This now contains some of the accommodation for tourists and the forts tower is used by many guests to view the sunset. The majority of the accommodation is bungalows nearby.
The restaurant at Namutoni differs from those in the other camps as its lunch menu is not a buffet - instead it offers an a la carte menu including some delicious choices - the Kingclip (a type of fish) is excellent and serves as a welcome change from the usual meat based diet.
The waterhole attracts some wildlife including Springbok and Oryx, but very little in comparison with the waterholes at the other two camps. Some wildlife does roam the camp - Banded Mongooses are common, and Ground Squirrels, Warthogs and Jackal can also be seen on occasion within the camp.
Stamps can be purchased at Namutoni, but the post tends to be far slower for items posted here than for items posted at Okaukuejo.
