"The Baboons at Erongo Wilderness"
Warm welcome by the staff and then shown to our very luxurious tent on a wooden platform with tremendous views to the massive rock formations populated by baboons.
Lots of dassies and various lizards of varying colours.
Food again was excellent both in the evening and breakfast.
An amazing night, the baboons were screaming and seemed as though the were at the side of the tent, however the night guards were there making sure that none breached the camp perimeter." See all these reviews: 12n in Namibia; 3n in South Africa
"A good lodge amongst huge boulders"
We were warned on arriving that ours was the only tent which had not been renovated but it was fine for one night. We had a lovely view from the outside seating area. Our visit to the cave paintings was good and our early morning guided walk was good too." See all these reviews: 22n in Namibia
"Even Better Than When We Stayed Here Before"
The young couple managing Erongo had only been there a few weeks but were very helpful and did everything they could to make our stay enjoyable." See all these reviews: 6n in Namibia; 6n in South Africa

"Great location & friendly staff"
"Good to be back"
The tents have been been replaced with larger, more luxurious ones but their furnishing needs revising to provide more storage capacity & surfaces. We understand that this is planned
Overall a very enjoyable last stop before returning.
The lodge needs some method of communication between the lower car park & the lodge so that guests without a 4x4 don't have to lug their luggage up to the camp. We were lucky enough to arrive at the same time as one of the staff who helped us with ours!
I would also point out that the shortest rout between Erongo & Windhoek uses the C36 which has a very good gravel surface & cuts about 35k from the journey." See all these reviews: 13n in Namibia
"Erongo - very welcoming"
When we did get there, the staff at Erongo were lovely. They were waiting for us at the car park to transfer to a 4WD for the last bit of the drive, and got us into our room and to dinner speedily after our arrival.
Our room was charming and comfortable, and the food was excellent. We had our first kudu sighting of the trip at the waterhole at dinner in the moonlight.
We got up early for the nature walk. The guide was gentle and knowledgeable, and we felt we learned a little about local culture as well as wildlife.
We were only in Erongo 1 night, but could have stayed another quite happily.
When we were there (end September 2012) they had had a power outage due to a bush fire - so were running on generators. But they were handling it very sensibly and equipped everyone with torches for the few hours in the night when they didn't have full electricity." See all these reviews: 9n in Namibia
"A real little find"
We just loved the challets and had a nice moring walk." See all these reviews: 20n in Namibia
"End of a great holiday."
Because of the position amongst the rocks it was quite a climb to and from tent and restaurant.
The amount of game to be seen was very limited apart from Damara dik dik and Klipspringer, however the geology and flora were of interest." See all these reviews: 18n in Namibia
