Halali Waterhole

Halali Waterhole Estosh NP

June 14, 2020

I just found a series of photos I took at the Halali waterhole in Etosha NP. I wasn’t keen on taking my camera to the waterhole that night but my friend insisted that I try my hand at a bit of nighttime photography.

Here are our results.

The images I captured that night barely hint at the unique beauty we observed. When you stay at a nationally run lodge in Etosha you will have access to the waterhole situated in your lodging area. The waterholes are protected so you can literally get up in the middle of the night and go view animals. Different lodges have different situations for instance the waterhole at Halali is quiet, small and intimate. Another waterhole, by our first lodging area, was vast. I woke at 2 in the morning and walked to it without my camera. There I observed herds of zebra, springbok, and impala move in and out of the waterhole with grace and silence. Sometimes the most amazing images are not captured on film.
