The Campsite
Etosha Trading Post
Etosha Trading Post is a campsite on the C38, just 6.5 km from Andersson Gate, the entrance to Etosha National Park on the way to Okaukuejo. It suits couples and small parties as well as bigger families and groups of friends travelling together.
There are twelve sites: eight individual campsites, each with its own bathroom, and four larger group campsites with separate ladies' and gents' facilities. Every site has power, running water, lights and a barbecue, and the individual sites look towards a waterhole and the sunsets over the plains.
There is a pool for everyone to share, a shop with groceries and curios, and a fuel station with a tyre workshop, which makes it a practical stop before or after a few days in Etosha.
