💡 Local Tip
Keep your camera accessible during taxi and transfer: wildlife—especially kudu, zebra, and jackal—often crosses near the airstrip, and park rules require you to stay in the vehicle unless accompanied by a guide.
🚖 Getting There
Access is almost always by pre-booked lodge or tour operator transfer from Halali Rest Camp; there is no public shuttle or taxi rank at the airstrip. If self-driving, note that Etosha park gates have strict opening hours and you need a park permit. Confirm your pickup time with the pilot and camp, as mobile signal can be limited.
