Okaukuejo Waterhole at Etosha is almost certainly the best waterhole in Namibia to see African animals close up. I think it's the best waterhole to see elephants close up. It must be in the Top 10 best wildlife viewing points in Southern Africa.
However, you must go during the dry season, when the animals have to come to the waterholes to drink. The best time to visit is July to October. We visited in November and the rainy season started while we were there.
Looking for inspiration for holidays in 2025 or 2026?
We did a 2 week road trip in Namibia during November - the highlights are shown in these 2 videos:
