Okaukuejo waterhole is a popular destination for wildlife viewing in Namibia's Etosha National Park. The waterhole is situated in the southern part of the park, near the entrance gate, and is surrounded by a large open plain, making it an ideal location for spotting wildlife.

The waterhole is one of several within the park, but it is particularly popular because it is floodlit at night, making it possible to see animals even after dark. The floodlights attract a variety of nocturnal creatures, including black rhino, which are rare and difficult to spot elsewhere in the park.

During the day, the waterhole is visited by a variety of wildlife, including elephants, lions, giraffes, zebras, and various antelope species. The waterhole is also a popular spot for birdwatching, with several bird species commonly seen in the area.

The waterhole is open to visitors throughout the day and night, and there is a small viewing area where visitors can observe the animals without disturbing them. Accommodation is available nearby, making it possible to spend several days in the area and experience the park's wildlife at different times of the day.
