"Erongo Wilderness Lodge review"

2 nights Arrived 7 Oct 2010
"Erongo liked very much.  Again no air cond. but cool at night.  

I understand they are completely re-furbishing next year so will have more sitting out room as the dining room was hot." See all these reviews: 14n in Namibia

"Erongo Wilderness Lodge review"

2 nights Arrived 28 Sep 2010
"We enjoyed our stay here - you very much feel that you are away in the wilderness! Staff were very friendly and there was a lovely welcoming atmosphere. The food was excellent - probably the best food of the whole holiday. The service was very efficient. The main lodge is a really lovely building.

We went on a guided evening walk, which was most enjoyable and the guide was very knowedgeable and good fun.

We were in the honeymoon suite! and we had a wonderful view from our camp." See all these reviews: 12n in Namibia

"Erongo Wilderness Lodge review"

2 nights Arrived 24 Sep 2010
"We were looking forward to arriving at Eronga Wilderness Lodge to have some luxury, only to find that there was no water! It was a local problem and the owner had been out for two days helping to repair.

However, it was a lovely place to relax and we thorough enjoyed our stay here, and even more so when we were given free drinks for the two days because of the water problem!

We would encourage a stop here for a couple of days, if only to catch one's breath after the previous long drives and early mornings at Sesriem." See all these reviews: 12n in Namibia

"Erongo Wilderness Lodge review"

2 nights Arrived 22 Sep 2010
"Not far off the main road, but feels like you are so far from it all. Great location.

Our room had a brilliant view - one of the best. I felt sorry for anyone in the room at the bottom of our walkway (No.7?) as it had a view of a spiky bush!

Main dining area had great views too and was very warm and friendly.

We had chance to use the pool, but this was not great - loads of insects floating in it and green stuff growing on the sides. No paving around it either - just dirt/sand. Bit scrappy.

They had trouble with the water supply while we were there and there was no water after our first afternoon. We wern't bothered about this and they did offer to take us to Omaruru to a room they had rented to have a shower, but it's a bit far, so we declined and just used water from a bucket that they brought. We also declined a free lunch to make up for the inconvenience, as we don't eat lunch.

We had a lovely early morning walk with Johnny, the guide. His knowledge of the area, animals and plants was excellent." See all these reviews: 11n in Namibia

"Great stay at the Lodge."

2 nights Arrived 3 Sep 2010
"Good accommodation, beautiful view, all bathroom facilities good. Friendly owners & staff. wonderful dining area looking out over rocky terrain, 2 open areas made it possible to see various bird & wildife.

Activities ie. am & pm walks great, friendly & knowledgeable staff. Wonderful views with a knowledgeable guide, need to be fit, fairly strenuous climbs! Owner/manager made a particular point to do a stargazing 1/2 hour, afternoon tea & cake was a nice touch.

Good food & catered well for vegetarians." See all these reviews: 14n in Namibia

"Heaven in the mountains"

1 night Arrived 1 Sep 2010
"We stayed on our last night and what a fabulous place to end our holiday on.

The lodge is tucked away in the mountains and you park your car at the bottom and they come and fetch you in a 4x4. The fixed tents are dotted around the rocks along raised walkways and are big and nicely furnished with a veranda and amazing bathroom build ito the rocks.

The dining room and small swimming pool are up more walkways at the top of the lodge. The dining room is light and airy with scenic views on one side. They really care about food here and have aspirations to fine dining. The quality was excellent as was the standard of cooking. They also provide afternoon tea with delicious homemade cakes. The service was excellent and the staff very friendly and helpful.

We loved it and were sad we only stayed one night." See all these reviews: 14n in Namibia

"Erongo Wilderness Lodge review"

2 nights Arrived 29 Aug 2010
"Breathtaking location, spectacular views, alarmed at first with the abundance of dassies until we realised they were more frightened of us!
Tents were perfectly situated for privacy, loved the open plan en-suite

Service was second to none, especially on the occasion of our anniversary when we had dinner on the deck overlooking the pool. 'Timu' our waiter on that evening was excellent.

Our early morning nature walk was brilliant, the guide was very informative and the views at the top of the Baboon Walk were out of this world" See all these reviews: 14n in Namibia

Drive into the camp beats any fairground ride! Food superb. Guided walk informative and very enjoyable. Fantastic views from summit, excellent guide. Attention by staff was superb.

Private anniversary dinner for our companions was quite remarkable and made it a very special occasion and stay.

Really enjoyed our stay here." See all these reviews: 14n in Namibia
