Okaukuejo Waterhole - Etosha National Park, Namibia

This live waterhole camera sits at NWR Okaukuejo Resort inside Etosha National Park, one of the largest and most celebrated wildlife conservation areas in Africa. The Okaukuejo waterhole is one of the most reliably productive wildlife cameras on the internet, with lion, elephant, black and white rhino, giraffe, zebra, springbok, wildebeest, and cheetah all recorded visiting regularly throughout the day and night.

Etosha National Park covers 22,270 square kilometres of northern Namibia, centred around the vast Etosha Pan, a ancient dry lakebed so large it is visible from space. During the dry season, waterholes like this one become the only reliable water source across enormous stretches of the park, concentrating wildlife in extraordinary numbers around the water's edge.

The waterhole is floodlit after dark, making it one of the few live cameras in the world where genuine nocturnal wildlife activity is clearly visible, with some of the most dramatic sightings happening long after midnight.

Did You Know? The Etosha Pan, which dominates the centre of the park, was once a vast inland lake fed by rivers from Angola. When those rivers changed course thousands of years ago the lake dried up completely, leaving behind a mineral salt crust so reflective that early European explorers described it as a shimmering silver sea stretching to the horizon.
