About the Local Area
The word “Etosha” means huge, white area. There are four camps in the Park: Okaukuejo, Halali,Namutoni and Onkoshi.

In 1907 Von Lindequist, Governor of German South West Africa (the entrance near Namutoni was named after him) declared an area of 99 526km² as a game park. This area includes the present reserve as well as the pans. The park’s borders have since been changes a number of times, and became known as the Etosha National Park in 1958. In 1970 it was reduced to its present size.

Winters in the park are cool and dry. This is the best time for tourist, because the animals tent to congregate around the waterholes then. The rain season usually begins in November, whilst February is the wettest month if the year. Average rainfall: Namutoni 443mm, Halali 429mm and Okaukuejo 412mm. Summer temperatures can be as high as 40°C. Winter temperatures are moderate, with a minimum of 6°C in July (at night).

Okaukuejo: The name by which Okaukuejo was formerly known was Okooquea, a word to describe the handle of a pulley to be found at a well. Okaukuejo was a control post after the outbreak of rinderpest in 1897. In 1901 a military outpost was established here and later converted into a police post.

The First game ranger stationed here was B.J.G de la Bat, who later became Director of Nature Conservation and Tourism. He arrived in 1953 and lived in the camel stables. The present water tower was built in 1963.

It is the main administrative camp in the Etosha National Park, and was officially opened for tourists in October 1957. The Ecological Institute is also stationed here. Research and management of nature conservation in the park is directed from this institute.
