"Erongo Wilderness Lodge review"
They the newies were charming. Hope the wooden section of the pathway to the restaurant has been sorted as it was a potential hazard in wet weather." See all these reviews: 14n in Namibia
"Erongo Wilderness Lodge review"
It had more of an individual feel about it than some of the other places we stayed, perhaps because it was not part of a chain, or not so much on the main tourist routes.
There were interesting birds to see from the dining room, and other wildlife including porcupines and dassies (rock hyrax)." See all these reviews: 14n in Namibia

"Bird lovers paradise"
The rooms are scattered up the hillside and are very comfortable with a verandah to sit and admire the view. They have tea/coffee making facilities and a minibar. The poshest tents I have ever seen!!
The surrounding hills provide some lovely walks - either guided or unguided - with a chance to see small animals, buck, baboons and many different birds as well as good views. The guides are charming and very knowledgeable. The food is good and the staff friendly.
The "back route" to Erongo takes you close to the mountains and is worth the extra time if you have a 4wheel drive or high vehicle (the road was badly eroded by the rivers which cross it)
Just one thing that is a shame in such a relaxed environment. Immediately on arrival you are required to sign a harsh indemnity which absolves the company of any responsibility. Nowhere else confronted us with such a document - let's hope that they can find a more customer-friendly approach." See all these reviews: 13n in Namibia
"Erongo Wilderness Lodge review"
The food is exceptional - it was original, tasty .... and very very filling ! The restaurant, with big open windows looking out onto the landscape, the waterhole and the resident porcupine, was a very atmospheric place. Carol and Mike were always there, greeting guests and checking that everything was meeting the quality thay expected.
Walks from the tent took us into and onto the local rocks: the views, the textures of the rocks and the sense of space are wondrous.
Our tent was an event in itself: built into the rock, marvellous views, and the fridge contained that all-important bottle of wine we needed to toast the sun as it set on our final evening in Namibia." See all these reviews: 16n in Namibia; 2n in South Africa
"Erongo Wilderness Lodge review"
Afternoon tea is certainly worth partaking in (great cakes). We were sufficiently impressed by the sundowner walk that we did it both nights." See all these reviews: 14n in Namibia
"Relaxing at Erongo Wilderness"
The food was excellent as usual and we thoroughly enjoyed both the guided walks and excellent birding. We saw the most spectacular sunset on our last night when we climbed the rock for sundowners. From talking to fellow travellers this appears to be a little known camp but it's certainly a gem worth visiting." See all these reviews: 17n in Namibia

"A great place to walk in the hills"
The tents were very comfortable, although the very nervous might have problems with the bathrooms, which are open to the great outdoors." See all these reviews: 17n in Namibia; 3n in Botswana
"Erongo Wilderness Lodge review"
There always seemed to be something going on here, either Baboons or other noises and some lovely birds, plus some lovely porcupines in the evenings." See all these reviews: 19n in Namibia
