New Camp (Dolomite Point) in Etosha NP?

Post by come-along.nl » Mon Mar 29, 2010 10:18 am

"Brand new for 2010, Dolomite Point (Dolomietpunt) is the newest camp by Namibian Wildlife Resorts.

This is the first camp to be built in the far west side of Etosha National Park, opening up an area that few people have accessed before.

Located near the Dolomietpunt waterhole, this exciting new camp will give access to a whole new section of the park which up until now has been off limits to those without a permit. This western side of Etosha National Park has different vegetation to the rest of the park, being made up of a mixture of scrub mopane woodland and sandy acacia shrubland.

Game viewing is also very good in this area – and this hilly western area of Etosha is used by the wildlife as something of a retreat during the wet season.

The planned opening of Dolomite Point is 1st September 2010, and at this time we understand that the Galton Gate, which is closed to the general public at present, will also open. This will be great for people travelling from Damaraland and Kaokoland who can then access Etosha National Park from the C35 on the western border of the park and then drive across the whole park from west to east.

We do not know all the details of Dolomite Point (Dolomietpunt) yet, however we understand that it will be of a similar standard to Onkoshi Camp in the east of the park. We are very excited about the prospect of this new camp and the opening up of the western side of Etosha."
