"Erongo Wilderness Lodge review"
The managers (who were the relief managers) were enthusiastic, taking the time to speak to everyone over dinner, sharing their knowledge of the area and even giving us an ad hoc stargazing lesson.
Gelassius (sp?) took us on our sunrise and sunset guided walks and was a wonderful guide - we really appreciated his knowledge and humour. We also did one of the self guided walks at sunrise - well marked and with beautiful views.
Erongo served the best food we had in Namibia - fresh, plentiful and delicious." See all these reviews: 10n in Namibia
"Erongo Wilderness Lodge review"
We were very warmly welcomed with fruit juice and the couple who manage it couldn't have been more friendly and accomodating. They were happy for us to hang around for several hours after we had checked out
Although this was not the only tented accommodation, it gave the best feel of communing with nature - especially with the baboons barking not too far away.
We had a brilliant guide (Johnny) for our sundowner and early morning walks - very informative and very sensitive to our capabilities." See all these reviews: 14n in Namibia

"Lots of birds at Erongo"
Some of the staff in the restaurant were excellent whilst others left a lot to be desired, we felt that we were inconveniencing them by asking for the menus etc. The walk to the cave paintings is very difficult if you have any problems with mobility." See all these reviews: 16n in Namibia
Thanks for your feedback which is always very important to us to ensure our normal high levels of service. We do apologise for the inconvenience caused by the renovations that were underway during your stay. It was not our intention to do these renovations while we had guests in house but due to the delay of the arrival of the new tents we had no option but to continue with the renovations. We understand that it will never make up for the inconvenience caused by the noise but we do hope that the complimentary nature drive offered at the lodge helped a little bit to counter the inconvenience.
Your comments about some of the staff in the restaurant are very concerning to us as we believe we have a very strong team in place in this department of the lodge. We do understand that everyone can have off-days but when you are front line your off-days should not affect your work performance and should not be visible to guests. We have conducted staff meetings and undergone further training with these staff members in order to ensure that this kind of attitude is not apparent in the future.
I would once again like to apologise for any inconvenience caused by the building work and hope that on your next visit to Namibia we will be able to show off our new tents to you and that you can enjoy our usual high level of service.
"Erongo Wilderness Lodge review"
Great setting amongst the hills and kopjies of the Erongo Conservancy. Particularly liked the wooden walkways connecting the tents and the rest of the camp. Although we were only there briefly, we did take advantage of a couple of walks. The morning walk was excellent. A really knowledgable and enthusiastic guide, perfect pace and just right to set us up for a nice breakfast! It would be a shame not to take advantege of the walks around the lodge.
We had a nice evening meal, and the staff and managers were very friendly and helpful." See all these reviews: 15n in Namibia
