Dolomite Camp, Luxury Safari Holidays in Etosha

Dolomite Camp is located in western Etosha National Park, near the Dolomietpunt waterhole. It is the first camp to be built on this side of Etosha, opening up a territory previously not accessible to mainstream tourists. Some of the highest concentrations of wildlife in Etosha roam freely here, including Hartmann's zebra which does not occur in the eastern section.

The camp is set amongst dolomite formations, ensuring game drives are conducted in one of the park's most scenic locations. The dolomite hill, the setting of the camp, boasts hundreds of seasonally blooming plant species, a lure for botanists and photographers alike.

Self-drive visitors to Etosha must note that entry through the western entrance to Etosha at Galton's Gate (45km) is only permitted with previously booked accommodation for Dolomite Camp.

The western section now open to the public measures approxiamately one-third of the total area of Etosha Park itself. Although the main wildlife spectacles occur in and around the waterholes and vegetation of the Etosha Pan, game viewing is also very good in this area. There are no fewer than 15 waterholes in the vicinity of Dolomite Camp.

The hilly and rocky terrain here also becomes a wildlife retreat for the entire park during the wet season. The camp's interior blends and harmonizes with the immediate environment. Facilities include a reception, guest lounge, fireside boma, laundry service, swimming pool and secure parking. A walkway from the bar and restaurant area leads to the accommodation.

There are 20 east and west facing elevated thatched en-suite chalets, nestled amongst dolomite rocky outcrops. Privacy and dramatic panoramic landscape views are guaranteed.

Large herds of zebra, giraffe and antelope wander the plains around Dolomite Camp. Black and white rhino are present in numbers, often at Klip-pan waterhole. Previously endangered species such as the black rhino and black-faced impala have been successfully bred here. Wildlife excursions are conducted by professional and knowledgeable tour guides.

Apart from the normal Etosha game viewing a special attraction of the Otjiovasondo area is the opportunity to see both the Plains Zebra and the Mountain Zebra drinking or grazing side by side and spotting the rare Sable Antelope.
