Location and Etosha access
The campsite sits on the C38 roughly 10km from Andersson Gate, one of Etosha’s main southern entrances near Okaukuejo. It is a straightforward drive from the gate, making early-morning game drives realistic for guests staying here.
Accommodation and facilities
Each Basic Camp Site is around 35m² and takes up to two people, with shared ablution facilities rather than a private bathroom. The wider property has an outdoor pool, a restaurant and bar, braai areas and free parking, so campers are not limited to just a patch of ground.
Who this property may suit
This suits budget-focused self-drive travellers and campers with their own tent and camping equipment who are comfortable with shared bathroom facilities in exchange for a low nightly rate close to the park.
Planning your Etosha stay
Bring your own tent and camping gear, as none is provided, and pack a torch and warm layers for cool desert nights even in the dry season. Fuel and supplies are worth stocking up on before heading out, since services thin out the closer you get to the park itself. See our Etosha National Park guide for more on planning gate times, self-drive routes and seasonal conditions.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need to bring my own tent?
Yes, this is a bring-your-own-tent site. Sites include access to shared ablution blocks, a pool, restaurant and bar.
Is the campsite rate per person or per pitch?
The Price Guide reflects the site rate for up to two people; confirm exact pricing for larger groups or extra guests when booking.
When is the best time to visit for game viewing near Andersson Gate?
The dry season, roughly May to October, is generally best, since animals concentrate around waterholes as surface water elsewhere dries up, making sightings more reliable close to Andersson Gate.
