"Excellent place to stay"
However, the night we were there had the biggest winds in recent times. The tent walls were flapping. Curtains inside were blowing horizontally. But it was an experience that we were well pleased to have.
This is another place that needs to ask your age and ability. Most of the tents are up a hillside, with steep steps and loose wooden railings. The steps are cut into the hillside stone and uneven. The food was well cooked and presented." See all these reviews: 14n in Namibia
"Adored this lodge could have stayed longer"
The open bathrooms were fabulous. It is funny to brush your teeth and shower with dassies sitting close by on the rocks watching!
We really enjoyed the food in the main lodge and the fact that dinner was served on the terrace overlooking the water hole. Our waiter was such a lovely kind man. Some lovely birds come to the lodge. The walks are lovely to do in the morning and we climbed the big hill behind the lodge to appreciate the stunning views. Enjoyed the pool.
We should have had longer here" See all these reviews: 13n in Namibia

"Great way to finish our holiday"
The pool is tiny but we had a lovely sunrise walk up the rock behind the lodge and saw lots of baboons.
Lighting in the rooms could be improved." See all these reviews: 15n in Namibia

"Great stay at Erongo Wilderness Lodge"
Our tented rooms were very spacious with enormous balconies. One of them (room 10) was great for viewing the sunset.
We did a couple of activities organised by the lodge - a 3 hour early morning walk, and a sunset walk, but it would have been easy enough to walk on marked trails by yourself. However having a guide added immensely to the experience. Our guide, Gelasius, was very knowledgable about the trees and other plants.
There was plenty of bird life but we didn't see much other wildlife." See all these reviews: 17n in Namibia; 2n in Zimbabwe
"Erongo Wilderness idyll"
"Our most favourite place. Ever. "
We were a little unsure when Sabina recommended including it as part of our itinerary as there are no obvious 'big draws' such as wildlife or famous desert scenery. But we are so glad we did. The tented lodges up in the hills feel as though you are in your own treehouse. They are utterly charming. The service was friendly and personal and the food was out of this world with a wine list that includes two served at Her majesty, Queen Elizabeth's Diamond Jubilee dinner.
Erongo Wilderness Lodge is like a little family up in the hills, one that takes you on walks over the rocks and feeds the dozens of horn bill, love birds and sparrows every morning before breakfast. We are going back." See all these reviews: 11n in Namibia
"Erongo Wilderness Lodge review"
Beautiful tented lodges in a spectacular setting, and excellent guided walks. vegetarian food was not as good as last time (different manager then who personally looked up ideas on the internet for us!). Parts of the meals were for a vegetarian quite repetitive variations on tomato sauce.
However as a destination we would still highly recommend Erongo" See all these reviews: 12n in Namibia
