Alux Travel is an independent Namibian travel publisher producing the planning resources at etoshanationalpark.com.na. We are not affiliated with Namibia Wildlife Resorts (NWR) and do not accept paid endorsements from lodges, camps or tour operators inside Etosha.
Editorial policy
All prices, routes and gate rules on this site are independently verified against the most recent publicly available NWR tariff sheets, Ministry of Environment publications and direct on-site fieldwork. We cite primary sources where they exist. Fact-checks are rerun each quarter.
How we research
- On-site fieldwork: Multiple self-drive expeditions through Anderson, Von Lindequist, King Nehale, Galton and Nehale Lyamingo gates.
- Primary-source tariffs: Prices are cross-checked against the NWR Official Tariff (2025/2026 season) and lodge-direct rate cards.
- Wildlife data: Species counts and conservation status follow the Ministry of Environment, Forestry and Tourism (Namibia), Etosha Ecological Institute reports, and the IUCN Red List.
- Route and timing: Drive times verified via GPS track logs from multiple visits and cross-referenced against Etosha camp-to-camp distance charts.
What we do not do
- We do not sell lodge bookings, transfers, or tour packages through this site.
- We do not accept fees or free stays in exchange for editorial placement.
- We do not republish operator-written brochure copy as editorial.
Geographic focus
This site covers Etosha National Park, Namibia (centered near 19.0°S, 16.0°E), its six rest camps (Okaukuejo, Halali, Namutoni, Onkoshi, Dolomite, Olifantsrus), five public gates and the surrounding lodges within 60 km of the park boundary.

Who Writes These Guides
Articles on this site are produced by the Alux Travel planning team, drawing on the team’s collective first-hand visits to Etosha across both wet and dry seasons. Specific routes, camp atmosphere notes, road condition observations, and waterhole sighting reports come from our team’s actual driving and overnight stays in the park, not from desk research alone.
Our Methodology
- Field verification — every gate-to-camp route, distance, and timing documented on this site has been driven by a member of our planning team.
- Cross-referencing — operational data (gate hours, fees, camp pricing) is verified against the published Namibia Wildlife Resorts rate sheets at the time of writing.
- Wildlife data sourcing — species status drawn from IUCN Red List and BirdLife International; behavioural patterns informed by Etosha Ecological Institute (EEI) research.
- Traveller feedback — recommendations are stress-tested against the experience of past travellers we have helped plan trips for.
- Quarterly review — time-sensitive information (gate hours, fees, lodge pricing) is reviewed every three months.
What We Publish
- Self-drive route guides and driving-day plans
- Camp comparisons (inside-park Etosha camps and outside-park lodges)
- Month-by-month seasonal guides for wildlife, weather, and pricing
- Wildlife guides for Etosha’s 114 mammal species and 340+ bird species
- Practical logistics: gate strategy, fuel stops, drive-time planning, packing lists
