"Erongo Wilderness Lodge review"
The lodge seems to be under new management and is, if anything, even better now than we remember it from our previous visit in 2010 .
The lodge is in a spectacular location amongst massive granite boulders and really deserves a longer stay.
The rooms are spacious and comfortable, everyone is very friendly and the food is excellent." See all these reviews: 13n in Namibia; 8n in Zimbabwe; 1n in Botswana
"Beautiful location"
Staff were generally friendly and some were exceptionally helpful (special thanks to Simeon and the manager/owner).
We did three activities: the sundowner walk, the nature drive to the cave and the guided dassie trail. Culis was an excellent guide - well informed and thoughtful.
The lodge offered the best breakfasts on our holiday. Evening meals were also good - eaten on a raised platform under the stars. Every morning at 7.00 seed was put out for the birds.
On our first morning I just sat and watched for a couple of hours as over 15 different species descended to feed. There was also good birding in the scrub immediately around the lodge drive and waterhole." See all these reviews: 19n in Namibia

"What a treat!"
We have been before, a few years ago, and there is inevitably a bit of comparison to do. It seemed marginally less fresh and kempt (especially in the approaches), but I'm not complaining; it was still a delight. The tented rooms are still lovely, and the restaurant terrace is still well placed to catch the evening breeze. The setting is fantastic. The manager did his rounds and chatted enthusiastically, much appreciated.
The 6 o'clock morning walk was a great pleasure and informative, well pitched in terms of exercise . You won't see too much four legged animal life, but there are birds, insects, plants and flowers to learn about." See all these reviews: 19n in Namibia; 4n in South Africa
"Erongo Wilderness Lodge review"
With hindsight we should have stayed here two nights (rather than Immanuel Wilderness Lodge) and driven straight to Windhoek airport.
Good food." See all these reviews: 14n in Namibia
"Hidden treasure "
Whoever thought of it had great foresight as the views from the lodge and the accommodation are wonderful.
The tent itself was spacious, had a large covered deck with comfortable settee and then on a higher level there were a couple of deck chairs as well." See all these reviews: 21n in Namibia

Sundowner trip to the cave paintings was over priced." See all these reviews: 14n in Namibia
"Glamping amongst the rocks"
Watchingdaddies and hornbills.
Three nights would probably have been enough.
The lodge got quite crowded on the last couple of days, and there weren’t enough shady sun beds for relaxing by the pool - It was very hot!" See all these reviews: 19n in Namibia

The Rock Dassies are prevalant in the area. We enjoyed watching them climb trees to feed on the leaves, very entertaining. You can see many bird species here particularly from the main lodge where water is provided.
A very comfortable lodge, good food and friendly staff, as well as the chance to get some exercise makes this a good place to spend a couple of days going to or from Etosha." See all these reviews: 9n in Zimbabwe; 5n in Namibia
