"Erongo Wilderness Lodge review"
"Lovely place"
Very comfortable and atmospheric camp in rocky mountain terrain. We came here to do some walking and we were not disappointed. We self guided for one walk and took a guided early morning walk which was very good. We also took an evening drive ( the only activity to pay for ), going to a cave with prehistoric engravings, and ending up with a welcome sundowner.
Good food, guides and staff." See all these reviews: 16n in Namibia

"Spectacular situation"
The food and the staff were very good.
We set out on what we thought would be a gentle walk with Englebrecht and ended up on the top of a mountain, challenging but with a great sense of achievement.
Plenty of bird species, but apart from hyrax and lizards, few animals." See all these reviews: 16n in Namibia
"Erongo Wilderness Lodge review"
Just one point to note is that the camp is built around the rocks/boulders so it is very up and down, so would prevent some challenges for the less able." See all these reviews: 9n in Namibia
"Erongo Wilderness Lodge review"
lengthening shadows and sunsets made the surrounding views exceptional.
tents were comfortable, but surprised the mosquito nets were not lowered at night, this led to our only insect bites of the trip (admittedly we could have done this ourselves - so no complaints) The climb up to the tent was up very steep and rocky steps - not ideal for anyone not completely mobile - as far as I could see all tents were up steep stairs.
Very friendly service. Sundowner was a bit of a scramble up a nearby peak, but the views around were worth it.
The nature drive was disappointing with not much nature - and the guide was not up to much - the trip was saved by a most interesting visit to see 2000 year old rock painting - well worth the bumpy ride.
We walked the 'Gecko Trai'l from the camp which was easy to follow and most rewarding" See all these reviews: 9n in Namibia
"Wonderful time at Erongo Wilderness"
The food was superb, as was the service, and all the better for being eaten outside under the stars.
Make sure that you are confident in driving a 4x4 before you attempt the steep and rocky final approach to the lodge. If in doubt, leave your vehicle in the secure parking area and accept the offer of transport by the lodge.
The only observation is that there are steep climbs both to the rooms and to the main area. This is because it is built in a ravine, but those with walking difficulties or heart problems may find this a problem." See all these reviews: 16n in Namibia; 4n in Botswana
