"Erongo Wilderness Lodge review"

3 nights Arrived 28 Jun 2013
"All the staff were helpful and it was some of the best food we had whilst in Namibia. Good toe Roger the owner standing in as a manager.

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"

2 nights Arrived 10 May 2013
"This beautiful spot is a place for hikers. There are many marked trails, but most people seem to go only on the guided hikes.

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

"Erongo Wilderness lodge was very relaxing"

3 nights Arrived 27 Apr 2013
"Although we had been to Namibia previously Erongo is a very easy and relaxed introduction to Namibia for any one new to the country and a good place to start our holiday after a day of travelling. It was just about driveable after arriving at Windhoek Airport in the early afternoon.

Accommodation and food were excellent and the presence of several local guests confirms its popularity with residents of Namibia." See all these reviews: 8n in Zambia; 7n in Namibia; 1n in South Africa

"Erongo Wilderness Lodge review"

1 night Arrived 3 Feb 2013
"We enjoyed our last night at Erongo before returning to Windhoek.

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

"Erongo Wilderness Lodge review"

2 nights Arrived 22 Dec 2012
"The hiking here was brilliant, it's a fairy tale location.

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"

2 nights Arrived 19 Dec 2012
"We really enjoyed staying at this lodge.

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"

2 nights Arrived 29 Nov 2012
"As with many of our other stops, Erongo Wilderness Lodge has been tastefully designed to blend in with an amazing landscape. The rooms are light, spacious and being tent based let a good amount of fresh air in if so desired. Bathroom once again was outside - excellent supply of hot water and the only audience are the abundant Dassies! Terraces are extensive and private with great views of the surrounding scenery. We had room 10, which despite being the furthest from the dining area had amazing views and a double bed (a rare find in Namibia where the 'Austrian Twin' seems to be the norm).

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
