"Erongo Wilderness Lodge review"
We went on one guided walk which we enjoyed and it was tailored to suit our ability. We attempted a walk on our own but the terrain was difficult and it was too hot." See all these reviews: 12n in Namibia
"A hiker's paradise"
Again, we found the staff delightful, and I started wondering if we were ever going to meet a crabby Namibian. The views from the rooms are stunning.
The Erongo Wilderness area is quite special." See all these reviews: 15n in Namibia

"Good place to rest up"
Guided walk was well worth doing but a little scary if you aren't good with heights." See all these reviews: 16n in Namibia
"Magnificent"
"Erongo Wilderness Lodge review"
The food was excellent with a good choice available. Of all the lodges visited, they were the most relaxed about meal times.
We had a very good walk the following morning with a knowledgable guide.
We wondered what the bathroom facilities would be like in inclement weather as the loo paper was apt to blow away!" See all these reviews: 8n in Namibia
"Amazing location"
Should have stayed 2 nights, rather than just the 1." See all these reviews: 10n in Namibia
"Erongo Wilderness Lodge review"
The free guided walking tours were fantastic and made a real difference to our stay. These were tailored to what we wanted to see and the guide was an expert in so many things it made all the difference.
Amazing sunsets and spectacular views, made up for the rain.
Staff lovely and helpful. It was a great place to finish this amazing holiday.
A shame that when it rains receptions gets flooded so no internet or phone :)" See all these reviews: 15n in Namibia
"A wonderful place for walks, birds + scenery"
Our chalet had a wonderful view over the rocky plain, and the outside bathroom had a canopy which meant we were as close as possible to nature but with shelter from the rain (which fell on both our evenings there). The relief managers on duty - Voibos and his wife, could not have been more helpful, and we enjoyed two fantastic walks with our guide Hal.
One the first walk, he very carefully guided us to the top of a very high kopjie for wonderful views of the area, and on the second, he managed to find us a klipspringer and 2 elephant shrews, plus innumerable bird species that we hadn't seen elsewhere. His knowledge of the local flora and fauna was excellent." See all these reviews: 16n in Namibia
"Lovely finale to our holiday at Erongo"
Food was excellent with a choice of two main dishes each evening, with dietary requirements thoughtfully met and a good choice of wine. Weather permitting, dinner is served outside around a braai, overlooking a small floodlit waterhole.
After our time in Etosha where we were largely vehicle based, it was great to be able to get out and explore on foot. We started with a short sharp Kopje climb for sundowners on our first evening and followed up with a longer climb of a larger Kopje before breakfast the next day - as ever the guides were friendly and knowledgable. We took the nature drive that afternoon but sadly were unable to do the walk up to the rock paintings owing to heavy rain making the rocks too slippery - a shame but one of the risks of visiting in the rainy season.
Breakfasts were the best of any of the camps - thoroughly enjoyed the pancakes. It was my wife's birthday during our stay and we were treated to sparkling wine and a home backed chocolate accompanied by a rousing rendition of Happy Birthday from the staff. A wonderful end to an amazing trip." See all these reviews: 13n in Namibia
