Etosha Safari Camping2Go
Eight self-catering safari tents beside Etosha Safari Camp, each sleeping four with its own bathroom and outdoor kitchen, 10 km south of Etosha's Andersson Gate.
Etosha Safari Camping2Go (the full name Gondwana uses) is a set of eight permanent tents beside Etosha Safari Camp on the C38, about 10 km south of Andersson Gate. It is camping without the gear. You get a proper bed and a bathroom, cook your own food, and still have a lodge bar and pool a short walk away. For families or small groups driving themselves through Etosha it is a sensible middle ground.
What to expect
Each tent has four single beds, bedding and towels, an en-suite shower and a fan. Outside, under shade, there is a kitchen with a fridge, gas cooker, sink, pots, crockery and cutlery, plus a braai grid and a fire pit in front of the tent. Guests can use the facilities at Etosha Safari Camp next door: the pool, the curio shop, the Okambashu restaurant and the Oshebeena bar, where there is often live music. So you can cook most nights and book breakfast or dinner at the lodge when you can’t be bothered.
Practical details
- Phone: +264 61 427 200 (Gondwana reservations). After hours +264 81 129 2424. Email info@gcnam.com.
- Check-in from 2pm, check-out by 10am.
- Wi-Fi, card payments and laundry are handled at the main lodge, not at the tents.
- The lodge runs guided half-day and full-day drives into Etosha and a short guided walk. Park fees are extra.
Good to know
Do your big shop before you arrive. Wikivoyage points out that the shops and bars inside Etosha have a limited choice and charge more than the towns, and suggests buying in a bigger town such as Outjo, which you pass on the C38 on the way up. Park gates close at sunset, and you are not allowed to drive in the park after dark, so plan your return to the tents with that in mind.
