All three camps have waterholes with floodlights.
Namutoni
At the east gate of the park. this is on the site of an old german fort which was burned down many years ago in a raid by the ovambo people from the north. today the fort is a hotel. there is also a shop where you can buy food and basic supplies.
Halali
South of the pan and situated about half way between the other two rest camps. this has the most impressive floodlit water hole with a viewing platform - you can walk down after setting up camp and sit here at sunset, drink a sundowner and watch the animals come down to drink.
Okaukuejo
At the south entrance to the park. there are small huts available, as well as a restaurant and pool. be sure to have a look at the waterhole around midnight, you can often see rhinos even during wet season. this has the best layout among all the camps and the best waterhole for sitting down and watching animals.
