Namutoni
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Namutoni is a village and a restcamp in Northern Namibia. It is located in Etosha National Park at the eastern edge of the Etosha pan. It is the site of a fort that was originally a German police post and later as a place to hold English prisoners in World War I. The original fort was destroyed shortly after its construction in 1904 and rebuilt a year or two later. The current fort was restored to its present state in 1957. The fort now largely serves as a lodge for visitors to Etosha National Park. There are stairs to access the top of the fort which offers a commanding view of the area. Namutoni is one of the three restcamps located within Etosha National Park.
Compared to the main restcamp of Etosha at Okaukuejo, Namutoni has relatively few services.
