Khaudum National Park is located in north-eastern part of Namibia. The park is known for its pristine nature and large herds of elephants. Sikereti is located about 10 km from the southern border of Khaudum National Park and around 60 km from Tsumkwe settlement.

Sikereti Camp is not fenced off - it is a special attraction of the camp. Sikereti Camp was in dare need of renovations since 2015 and was officially closed in March 2019. The renovation work was delayed several times, also because of the Corona crisis. The tented camp was newly added.

Khaudum National Park was established with conservation in mind and not for cash generation. This simple guiding characteristic gave birth to the true wilderness feel that embraces one’s soul when visiting the park. It is wild, and we want to keep it like that.

Sikereti Tented Camp is self-catering only. Visitors are required to report and register immediately upon entry to the Park at Sikereti Gate, if entering from the south, or Khaudum Gate, if entering from the north.

Proof of pre-payment will be required at the gate.
