Frequently Asked Questions
What makes Campsite #6 in Khaudum National Park so special compared to other camping options in Namibia?
We love Campsite #6 for its raw, untamed feel. Unlike more developed lodges, this is true bush camping where you truly feel immersed in the wilderness. Expect basic but clean facilities, and the incredible privilege of having the vast Khaudum landscape almost entirely to yourself.
We're planning a trip to Campsite #6. When is the absolute best time to visit for wildlife viewing?
For us, the dry season from May to October is unbeatable at Campsite #6. Waterholes become crucial gathering points for elephants, lions, and a host of other animals. The cooler temperatures also make game drives far more comfortable, and the vegetation thins out, improving visibility.
What kind of wildlife encounters can we realistically expect right at Campsite #6, and are there any safety precautions we should take?
You'll likely see plenty of plains game right around the campsite, and elephants are frequent visitors, so always be aware of your surroundings. We recommend storing food securely and never walking around after dark. While Khaudum is wild, the staff are experienced and can offer guidance on staying safe.
What are the typical costs associated with camping at Campsite #6, and what's included in that price?
Camping fees at Campsite #6 are generally very reasonable, reflecting its remote and unfenced nature. Expect a modest daily rate per person or per vehicle. This typically covers your pitch and access to basic ablutions; you'll need to bring all your own food, water, and camping gear.
Beyond self-driving safaris, are there any guided activities offered directly from Campsite #6, or is it purely a base for independent exploration?
While Campsite #6 is primarily a base for self-sufficient campers, we have occasionally seen opportunities for guided walks or drives arranged locally, especially during peak season. It's always best to inquire upon arrival or with the park authorities beforehand, as offerings can vary.
