Reviews of Erongo Wilderness

"After extensive game viewing in Etosha Park, Erongo Wilderness Lodge offers a pleasant change of pace with a chance to go on guided or self hikes through some fascinating rock formations.

The multi course dinners were excellent, among the best we had in Africa.

The sundowner walk is not for those fearful of heights or those unable to do some uphill hiking. How much and when to tip guides was a bit confusing as we had more than one guide over the two days." See all these reviews: 12n in Namibia; 3n in Botswana

"A lovely location and not too far away from Windhoek for use as a first or a last stop.

We took advantage of a 'short' walk in the morning with a guide - short walk didn't really mean the amble we thought it was going to be; but never the less it was lovely. Our guide was so eager to impart lots of information on the local flora & fauna.

Again, as with most of the lodges, we would be more than happy to return. It's a lovely place to chill out before travelling home." See all these reviews: 15n in Namibia

"This was my favourite lodge on our 2 week trip. The tented rooms were lovely, very well equiped with mini-bar, kettle for tea etc. and their homemade mosquito repellent was excellent. The stone bathroom was huge.

The guides, and in fact all the staff, are what made it so special for us. We did walks with Kulis, Charlie and Charles and they were all so friendly, helpful, interesting and very knowledgable. They explain everything along the way about the trees, plants, geology, animal etc. and they were all really good fun to spend time with.

The food was also lovely, the serving staff were really lovely and friendly.

A wonderful place to stay, I would highly recommend it and was sad to leave." See all these reviews: 14n in Namibia

"we were sad we only had one night here as it is in a stunning setting!

the food was lovely and the service excellent!! you really are in the wilderness here and sleep was a bit hard to achieve with the baboons and other animals running about!

having a mini bar was an excellent change from doro nawas and kulala!" See all these reviews: 14n in Namibia; 1n in South Africa

"The guides on the walks were very knowledgable.

The food was exceptional.

This resort really did tick all of the boxes, however if being separated from nature by canvass is too close for comfort this is not the place for you." See all these reviews: 7n in Namibia

"Wonderful! Definitely felt in the 'wilderness', surrounded by rocks, lots of birds and small animals. The tented accommodation was carefully sited so that you weren't aware of other tents and was very comfortable. In fact the layout of the Lodge was very well thought out.

The trip to Paula's Cave was outstanding - great guide and wonderful rock art." See all these reviews: 10n in Namibia; 3n in Botswana

"This is a delightful Lodge in a lovely location. We were given a very warm welcome and the lodge and facilities were described to us. The individual tented chalets are widely spread and so very private and secluded - our luggage had miraculously been deliverd to our tent before we arrived.

The tented chalets were very comfortable with both electric and candle lighting and minibar (we ended up with one of the two honeymoon chalets with a big double bed and a private terrace with a cold water tub). Wonderful open air shower and we enjoyed going to sleep with bright moonlight flooding in to our tent as we couldn't bear to close the "curtains"!

Lots of smaller wildlife around to see. This lodge is somewhat unusual in that a lot of guided walks are included in the DBB rate which is great. Excellent guides and wonderful sundowner walk where we saw baboons clambering over the rocks. Good early morning nature walk too followed by a great breakfast with weaver birds flying through the restaurant and lovebirds queuing up to be photographed just outside the wide, floor length open windows.

Main lodge area very comfortable and lots of nice touches (sculptures, small swimming pool with seats and towels on hand etc). Dinner good, only interrupted by watching porcupines shuffling just outside the open windows.

We would definately return here with a minimum 2 night stay (unfortunately, we only had one). Also very convenient for Windhoek airport (3.5 h)." See all these reviews: 9n in Namibia

"Unfortunately we drew the short straw with regard to the accommodation being the only tent/lodge with no view.

Experienced problems with no hot water despite assurances that this would be resolved.

Sun downer drinks venue and food excellent though." See all these reviews: 14n in Namibia

"Although we were only there for one night we managed to get a good feel for the place.

Its a good place for walking, guided or unguided.

The accommodation is in luxury tents which are comfortable but whilst we were there the rock dassies were incredibly noisy at night which we saw as part of the experience but which some people may see as a problem if you were hoping for a quiet nights sleep .

The young manager and manageress were very friendly and welcoming.

The food was excellent.

Overall we had a good time here." See all these reviews: 14n in Namibia

"We had a beautiful tented room here with a gorgeous view over the mountains.

Our only regret is that we only got to say one night, so weren't able to enjoy some of the activites on offer, but we did enjoy a sun-downer walk up to a look out point and a lovely sunset." See all these reviews: 16n in Namibia
