"Simply excellent"
It was suggested by Expert Africa that we drove on tarred road back to Windhoek via Karibib, but at the manager's suggestion, we used the C36 to Wilhemstal which saves 34 km. This road is a wide gravel road in very good condition, with much of it recently graded. The journey back to the airport took three and a half hours because of slow vehicles into and out of Windhoek. I suspect it might be nearly as fast, and more fun, to take the back roads avoiding Windhoek." See all these reviews: 10n in Namibia
"Erongo Wilderness Lodge review"
Very welcoming and relaxed with very good food. In our brief stay we followed a marked trail, again with fantastic views, and went on a guided sundowner stroll with gin and tonic. Everyone at the lodge was very friendly and everything worked very well.
Easy access but felt very remote. We'd go for two nights next time" See all these reviews: 14n in Namibia

We did enjoy the lovebirds that gathered in the trees near the dining room every morning around 7:00 a.m." See all these reviews: 20n in Namibia

When we stayed, it was a bit windy. We had hot water bottles but inevitably there were a lot of draughts and flapping canvas! Excellent food, great guide for evening and morning walk (Heidi), plus waiter in restaurant was effecient, very cheerul and a wonderful source of information and stories.
Management were helpful and attentive although they seemed quite new and in process of developing their own systems and hotel culture." See all these reviews: 14n in Namibia

Even the travel was long on the gravel road, night was very cold in the tent and open bathroom, I felt sorry to leave." See all these reviews: 9n in Namibia

"To short a stay!"
We really wanted to stay another day and go on some of the other walks on offer, and just sit on our balcony.
The rooms are tents with a thatched roof over the top, with open bathrooms which were very bracing in the winter morning cold. The hot water bottles were much appreciated as it was rather cold at night.
The food was great, with some choice included in the fixed menu. It was fun watching the porcupines and genet wandering around outside the restaurant while you ate." See all these reviews: 12n in Namibia; 6n in South Africa
"So good to return to Erongo"
"Erongo Wilderness Lodge review"
If you want the freedom of being able to walk out in the bush this is ideal. If you think you are going to see alot of game you will be disappointed. The birdwatching however was excellent. The guided walks were tailored to our requirements and we could also go off for walks by ourselves.
This made a good contrast to Etosha when you are confined to the car" See all these reviews: 8n in Namibia
