Anderssons Camp
PO Box 58, Okaukeujo

Andersson's Camp takes its name from Charles Andersson, the Swedish explorer who first 'discovered' the Etosha Pan with Sir Francis Galton in 1851. Set against the backdrop of the low Ondundozonanandana Mountains, Andersson's Camp is surrounded by scrub-covered plains and white calcrete soils.This former farmstead has been tastefully rebuilt to modern-day standards. The old farmhouse now forms the main area of Andersson's Camp with 20 tents (16 twin-bedded and 2 family units) radiating outwards into the secluded mopane woodlands typical of the region. Tents are a clever mix of calcrete stone cladding, canvas and wood, with double-door entrances and a small veranda that is an extension of the elevated wooden decks on which the tents are constructed. The en-suite bathrooms continue the unique design. The family units comprise two tents connected by a raised boardwalk.Andersson's Camp's close proximity to Etosha Pan is ideal for full-day self-drives or guided drives into the Etosha National Park to take in the plethora of game found here.

Accomodation

Catering for families, groups of friends and couples, Andersson’s camp is strategically located immediately adjacent to Namibia’s famous Etosha National Park. The region is home to lions, elephants, oryx, springbok, zebra, and is one of the best locations to see the rare desert black rhinoceros.Waterholes in the dry season attract herds of wildlife, often stalked by lions, leopard or cheetah. During the green season from December through to December the plains grow a lush carpet of grass, and huge herds of antelope form, once again a magnet for the region’s predators.The staff at Andersson’s Camp pride themselves on levels of service usually reserved for only the most expensive of camps, and will ensure your stay is a comfortable one in a perfect, rustic bush setting.The camp itself was built with great consideration for the environment using sustainable materials, while taking into account the desert’s fragility. Andersson’s Camp is the perfect base for your Etosha explorations.
