"Erongo , great location"
Tented accommodation was probably not for us ." See all these reviews: 15n in Namibia
"Erongo Wilderness Lodge"
If you like your privacy, do not stay in room number 8 as the bathroom is not that private! However, the tents have been beautifully revamped and are very comfortable with good views from the shaded veranda.
We were only staying one night as it was our last before heading for the airport, so there was no time for activities, but it is a place to stay for longer if you like walking." See all these reviews: 17n in Namibia
"Erongo Wilderness Lodge review"
The food was amazing, service top-class, the rooms and dining areas gorgeous, location stunning. We had a superb morning hike with a fabulous guide.
Only downside was we were only here for one night - we could have stayed for much longer!" See all these reviews: 17n in Namibia
"Erongo Wilderness Lodge Review"
In between we relaxed on the terrace of our very pleasant chalet and enjoyed the views.
If there had been more trails to take, we'd have liked to have had more time here. The food and service were excellent." See all these reviews: 16n in Namibia; 3n in South Africa
"Brilliant stay"
Erongo's staff were superb too - particularly the guide Emmanuel who had a real passion for the local landscape and wildlife, and the safari drive and sundowner in a nearby cave is recommended. Birdlife and mammals were great too - don't miss the early morning feeding at the restaurant of hundreds of Rosy-faced Lovebirds." See all these reviews: 13n in Namibia

"Should have stayed longer"
The rooms were spacious and well equipped and it's a very peaceful location
We saw more birds here than anywhere else and the dassies were a continual entertainment. Wished we'd stayed longer." See all these reviews: 17n in Namibia
"Erongo Wilderness Lodge review"
We did not really have long enough to appreciate the camp and in hindsight we should probably have broken our drive to Windhoek from Etosha elsewhere. We enjoyed the amazing views, the lovely setting of the communal area and dining room and the friendliness of the staff.
The room seemed tired in comparison with all we had been in prior to this and we wondered if the camp itself had seen better days and needed a bit of investment." See all these reviews: 15n in Namibia; 9n in Botswana; 2n in Zambia
"Return visit, still excellent"
We stayed in new "tents" which were a bit further away from the lodge and are being built for self-catering. The facilities look like they will be very good, but not yet complete. Have not yet got water temperature high enough with solar heating for the winter! (We were there in July). Balconies (and outdoor bathrooms) have beautiful views."

The distances in the Bradt Guide to Okonjima and Erongo and incorrect as are some of the figures for Okonjima, I will contact them separately. We arrived in hot conditions at Erongo for three nights and were looking forward to not having to move on quickly. As we had the minibus we could not drive up but were met by very friendly staff who organized everything and drove us up the rock. There was an excellent reception with refreshments and a very knowledgeable and friendly assistant manager.
The tent houses were wonderful. The conditions were quite blustery so at times they were a little noisy at night but this was not a problem. We loved the Flintstone's bathroom! We were a little concerned about all of the steps for my mother who has problems with her knees. As it turned out she managed fine, taking her time to get to the restaurant/pool area and reading books, enjoying the views and wildlife.
The Lodge was excellent. Staff very friendly and helpful, nothing was a bother, the food was superb, we could sit in during the day when it was hot and watch wildlife out the window frames and many birds and a small snake came inside. The crocodile pool was very cold but bracing and refreshing!! We walked some of the signpost trails and out into the surrounding countryside but did not use the guides of the site though we talked a lot to the nature guide about what was around and what we found ourselves.
The site was beautiful, very comfortable, luxurious, great food, great staff - excellent!" See all these reviews: 8n in Namibia
