"Erongo Wilderness Lodge"
Could easily have spent 3 nights here. Very cold at night but good warm duvets." See all these reviews: 15n in Namibia
"Incredible place"
The rooms are simply incredible. Huge tented chalets with excellent appointments, big balconies and even a day bed outside. The view from each chalet is wonderful.
Meals are taken in the main building, from which the view is also amazing. We dined outside with a view across to a floodlit waterhole and had a superb meal accompanied by first class wine and service to match. It was a shame we only stayed here one night."

"Erongo Wilderness Lodge review"
Restaurant service here was excellent.
Not the best place to stay if you have trouble climbing up and down steps and slopes to your room and to the restaurant." See all these reviews: 18n in Namibia
"Erongo was as spectacular as we had hoped"
Highlights were the sun downer walk and the visit to the cave paintings. All the food was of a very high standard and eating dinner out under the stars by the fire pit was memorable.
Overall a wonderful experience." See all these reviews: 23n in Namibia; 9n in Botswana

I would have sacrificed one night in Etosha to allow an extra night here." See all these reviews: 13n in Namibia
"Top range lodge located in a stunning setting"
The only issue was that as this was our last overnight stop before the return flight, we did not get to enjoy the fantastic location and the facilities as much as we would have wished. We did not take part in any activities organized by the lodge for the same reason.
We also felt that the lodge is too far from the airport to be a last stop in any itinerary." See all these reviews: 14n in Namibia
"Erongo Wilderness Lodge review"
We loved the location and views from the three different seating areas that we had at our tent. The elevated position of the tents with none overlooking another was great.
Food was superb and staff very cheerful and helpful. Dining area and bar deck are in a great elevated position overlooking hills, bird feeder and waterhole.
Guided walks were good with knowledgable guides and a good pace.
Self guided 'map' very poor. Needs to be improved with more information on length of each walk and how they are way marked. We abandoned one as could not find pointers and made up our own walk on obvious trails.
Minor point; linen was looking shabby with small holes in bed sheets and towels but they were clean." See all these reviews: 15n in Namibia
"Erongo Wilderness Lodge"
This is a truly amazing place to stay with a swimming pool and restaurant built into the mountain. The lodges are a permanent tent each built into a mountain recess, each has it's own private space, an outside shower as well as a bathroom that is built from rock. The food was of an exceptionally high standard and offered choice for the vegetarians amongst us.
We went on the free sundown walk which was a highlight of our stay. You do need to be reasonably flexible as there is a little bit of scrambling to get to the top but it is well worth the effort. At the top you can drink your pre ordered drink (G&T seemed appropriate) as the sun set over the mountain range in the distance." See all these reviews: 10n in Namibia
"Erongo Wilderness Lodge review"
Walking in the surrounding area is well worthwhile whether with the guides or by yourself. Although the walks are short by combining them and walking or running them at different times of the day you can easily spend a few days here without leaving the camp. Many people that we met here were staying in Erongo for their last night in Namibia but personally the driving time to the airport is significant and it might be worth staying in or near Windhoek for the last night" See all these reviews: 22n in Namibia
"Erongo Wilderness Lodge review"
The scenery was very different to other areas we visited and we enjoyed the camp location on the side of a hill with great views. We did the sundown walk and an afternoon nature drive the following day both of which we enjoyed. Petrus and Koolas (?) were interesting and knowledgeable guides.. The rest of the staff were also very good, particularly Santos, with his knowledge of astronomy." See all these reviews: 14n in Namibia
