Namutoni is situated on the eastern side of Etosha pan, just inside the von Lindequist entrance to Etosha National Park.
It is an improbably beautiful Beau Geste-style fort situated in an area dotted with graceful makalani palms, Hyphaene petersiana.
It derives its name from the old German fort around which it is built and it overlooks the King Nehale waterhole. The presence
of this fort undoubtedly gives Namutoni more character than the other rest camps inside the park.
It is also the closest restcamp to the picturesque Fischer's Pan, so expect great concentrations of waterbirds
around here when it's wet – including a breeding colony of flamingos.
