If you are traveling by car, start from Windhoek, the capital of Namibia. Head north on the B1 highway towards Otjiwarongo. After about 200 kilometers, take the C38 road towards Etosha National Park. The drive will take approximately 6 hours. Once you reach the park's entrance at Anderson Gate, pay the entrance fee (around N$ 80 for adults and N$ 20 for children). Continue driving along the main park roads until you reach Halali Camp. The Etosha Pan Lookout is located just a short drive from Halali, at coordinates -18.9305154, 16.4876015. Look for signage pointing towards the lookout. Park your vehicle in the designated area and enjoy the breathtaking views of the pan.
Public Transportation
For those using public transportation, take a bus from Windhoek to Tsumeb, which costs around N$ 200. From Tsumeb, you will need to arrange a taxi or shuttle service to Etosha National Park, as public transport options are limited. The taxi ride to the park entrance will cost approximately N$ 600. Once you arrive at Anderson Gate, pay the entrance fee (around N$ 80 for adults). After entering the park, you can either hire a guided tour or self-drive to Halali Camp.
