A gleaming white fort on the eastern edge of the Etosha Pan, built in 1896 as a German police post and veterinary control point, later turned into a visitors' camp, now one of the park's loveliest and most unusual camps with its white walls, towers and palms. Visitors enter through an arched gate into a quiet inner courtyard ringed by white rooms and arcades, and climb the towers and ramparts to watch the surrounding plains and woods and the sunset over the salt pan. Around Namutoni are waterholes where animals gather, the nearest a small one by the fort, and close by is Fischer's Pan, which fills with water after rain and draws waterbirds. The east of the park is greener and more wooded than the west. The fort is inside the park, open to visitors and camp guests. Etosha entry is NAD 280 per foreign adult per day since April 2026, per visitor guides, plus a vehicle fee. Stay in your vehicle except at designated spots.
