The word Halali is of German origin. It was used to imply that the quarry was brought to bay and that the hunt was over. In Etosha, the term has a different connotation. It represents that sport hunting, and the needless killing of animals is over. This resort opened in 1967.

The German soldiers operated a heliograph. This was on the top of one of the nearby Helio Hills to signal their comrades at Fort Namutoni. The Helio Waterhole derives its name from this signal station.
