Zuri Camp is a small farm stay in the bush east of Tsumeb, about 15 minutes’ drive from town. Markus and Erika run it on a 400 hectare property, with horses, dogs and cats about the place. Tsumeb is the closest town to Etosha, and the park is roughly an hour away, so this works as a quiet base for the eastern side of the park.

What to expect

There are four safari tents, each with its own en-suite bathroom and a terrace. Amani sleeps two, Madini and Kiama sleep four (Kiama has its own small pool) and Zahir takes five. Cooking is self-catering in an outdoor kitchen with a braai, and there is a pool on the property. Campers get one of two sites, Halishi or Safiri, each under a big marula tree with a private bathroom, hot shower and wash-up basin. The camp says no other site or tent is near either one.

Practical details

  • Phone: +264 81 228 5792 (Markus).
  • The camp does not take arrivals after sunset, so plan your drive.
  • Power differs by site. Safiri has 220V for a fridge, while Halishi has only 12V solar lighting and no 220V, so pick Safiri if you need to plug in.
  • The owners say the water is drinkable. A small bush shop sells firewood, ice, braai packs, pasta, beer, wine and cold drinks, ordered by WhatsApp.
  • Pets are accepted on request.

Good to know

Walking trails cross the farm and are mapped on OpenStreetMap, so an offline map app will show them. An underground bird hide looks onto a small waterhole about 5 m away, built with photographers in mind. Horse rides cost extra. The owners also run full-day Etosha trips to the Namutoni side, leaving at 6am and back at 7pm, and the Hoba meteorite is about 40 minutes’ drive.
