Erongo Wilderness Lodge review
It was very very cold here in June! Too cold to use the shower built into the rocks. The tents really need heat in winter BUT this was a lovely place to stay. Murray and Robert were very welcoming. The guide, Heidi, was the best of our trip and so was the chef. The choice at breakfast was amazing - try the savoury or sweet pancakes -delicicious!
We were really glad we stayed here even tho' it was so cold.
Erongo Wilderness Lodge review
The setting of this camp is lovely, as is the opportunity to walk directly from the site and see baboons, dassies, lovebirds etc, and the self-guided Eagle walk and the guided Sundowner walk & 6am walk were very enjoyable, and Gelasuis our guide was friendly and informative. The accommodation was the least comfortable of any on our trip - the tent flapped noisily all night in the chilly brisk wind, which also made the outside bathroom distinctly unwelcoming (unlike Hoodia there is no inside alternative). Maybe in summer the tents would be more appealing, but in early winter they spoilt an otherwise pleasant stay.

Tented room very comfortable with good facilities. Layout of the site was very good with stunning views.
Guided walks very informative, especially Johnny and Koulis. The visit to Paula's cave was stunning and very enjoyable, and the staff that also attended were very good company. Food and dining service was also excellent.
Nice to have emphasis on walking and you can do self guided walks, the one we did we were able to watch a pair of Dik Dik for quite some time.

This was our favourite place on the trip. Everything was first class from start to finish and we were looked after very well indeed, including a special birthday treat!
The tented bungalows are lovely and the views terrific.
All the staff were friendly and attentive and the food and wine excellent.
Bird feeding time at breakfast is spectacular, and being able to watch Small-spotted Genet and Porcupine over dinner is a real thrill!
Erongo Wilderness Lodge review
only 2 negatives about this stunning place,
1) The beds could benefit with mosquito nets.
2) They could do with a way for arriving guest`s to contact the lodge, if their is nobody at the parking area it is a bit of a trek to get to the reception.
But these are only slight niggles, we loved the place.

One of the best places we stayed on this trip. Amazing location and views, great walks and definitely the best food we had in any lodge in Namibia. Excellent service all round.

This proved to be a great location on which to end our trip to Namibia. All staff did their utmost in making our brief stay there an enjoyable experience.

Amazing situation inthe mountains with the walkways to the cabins yet very close to the main road.
Very good for those who like walks with excellent guides and marked paths for those who want to walk on their own. All these included in the price.
Very kind and helpful staff,very friendly.
Quite a lot of wild life with the Dassies and baboons
Many colourful birds and people to identify them
Food really excellent ,the best in Namibia.
Erongo Wilderness Lodge review
Again, a lovely hotel in a great location. We really enjoyed the sundowner walk.
It was a shame we had to go home and didn't have more time there. The managers were new and very friendly and helpful.
Fab place to end our trip.
Relaxing
This was our last stop at the end of a three week trip and we used it to relax prior to the journey home. Different from the lodges we had stayed at in the sense that Erongo has tents set up under permanent thatched covers (same principle as a car port) with a rear entrance into a built bathroom with shower. It's all a matter of choice but 2 nights was enough for us in accommodation as simple as this though there are absolutely no complaints and it was very clean.
Service was friendly (though the lady who meets you and looks after luggage could do with a few more days at the charm school) and Brian the manager was always around to make sure you were happy. The food was OK and there was always a choice for main course at dinner. Activities are low key and we did nothing except a self-guided walk on the property.
We have always believed that acting responsibly is the only way to approach tourism and we're one of
the few companies to hold AITO's original coveted 5-star status for responsible tourism. It's a lead
that others are now following.
