Etosha National Park: Halali to Namutoni
The eastern half of Etosha's main self-drive road links Halali and Namutoni rest camps, about 70 km apart, along the southern edge of the Etosha Pan. Waterholes along and just off the road attract elephant, lion, rhino and plains game, especially in the dry season.
