Reviews of Ondudu

"Having stayed here on our honeymoon three years ago, we knew what it would be like.

They have upgraded the rooms so they are really spacious but I think it loses a little of the romance that the old style rooms had." See all these reviews: 12n in Namibia

"A stunning location.

The staff were welcoming, although it would have been helpful to have been told the cost of the evening drive when we hurriedly agreed to go on it. The drive, with a walk to see 'Paula's Cave (?)' was excellent, the guide Coolas informative and entertaining. It was a freezing cold night, so a log fire at dinner in the main lodge was most welcome.

The tents were very cold though, in spite of the hot water bottles supplied. We slept in our clothes and used all the extra blankets etc! I wish we'd heeded the advice to take gloves....After a chilly start the next morning, we had a great walk with the guide Johnny. Again, interesting and fun. We left by 10am but it was a very memorable stay." See all these reviews: 7n in Namibia

"This is more like a "Good+".

Again, this place was excellent for a one-day + one-night stop on our way between Etosha and Swakopmund. The setting is very beautifull with the tents set up amongst the huge boulders. Food was good and the morning walk is just great (thanks in great measure to the guide). There is no big game to see here (we saw mainly dik-diks and other small antelopes), but there's some interesting cave paintings and the possibility to stretch your legs and walk around for a couple of hours, all while listening to very fun guides who are very knowledgeable about the geology, flora, and fauna of the area, makes this place worth your while.

It was just right for one night to make the transition from fully-fledged safari mode in Etosha to Swakopmund. And I guess it'd be just as good when travelling in the other direction. Talk to the camp manager about the night sky and, if lucky, prepare yourself for a great description of the stars and constellations above you, together with full mythological references and the aid of a very powerfull laser pointer! Talk to everyone; they have plenty of great stories to share, and this made us enjoy our stay here even more so." See all these reviews: 11n in Namibia

"Best place we stayed. Loved everything.

The location is superb, the tents/huts are wonderful, food is great, staff is personal and so friendly and the walks very magnificent. One night is not enough for Erongo Wilderness Lodge (luckily we had booked two nights)." See all these reviews: 17n in Namibia; 3n in Zimbabwe

"Once again a lovely place to stay with excellent staff on hand to make our stay special. Once again, extremely cold overnight, especially with the open floor boards!

The lighting on the paths to the tents could have been a bit better as some of the steps are quite uneven" See all these reviews: 14n in Namibia

"The Erongo Wilderness Lodge is just brilliant with extremely helpful staff and great activities.

Overall, the most professional place I stayed in in Namibia. A really special place with fantastic food and helpful, kind and knowledgeable staff." See all these reviews: 15n in Namibia

"Probably the most enjoyable place we stayed, and not to be missed. Easily reached from the tarred road, and unique environment.
Very friendly, and beautiful setting. Very nice food.

The eagle walk (one and a half hours) was outstanding.

Couldn't ask for more." See all these reviews: 16n in Namibia; 2n in Zimbabwe; 1n in South Africa

"Erongo was a wonderful place to spend our last two nights in Namibia. The tents are large with shaded and open terraces and the outdoor bathrooms added a wild touch to the accommodation. The central area is stunning - amazing views over the mountains and waterhole and the company of tens of rock dassies, lizards and lovebirds.

The managers (who were the relief managers) were enthusiastic, taking the time to speak to everyone over dinner, sharing their knowledge of the area and even giving us an ad hoc stargazing lesson.

Gelassius (sp?) took us on our sunrise and sunset guided walks and was a wonderful guide - we really appreciated his knowledge and humour. We also did one of the self guided walks at sunrise - well marked and with beautiful views.

Erongo served the best food we had in Namibia - fresh, plentiful and delicious." See all these reviews: 10n in Namibia

"In some respects. this was the highlight of the trip. The setting is unbelievable; and the views from our room were quite simply spectacular. (We argue about whether Erongo or Doro Nawas gave the best 'view from the bed'.)

We were very warmly welcomed with fruit juice and the couple who manage it couldn't have been more friendly and accomodating. They were happy for us to hang around for several hours after we had checked out

Although this was not the only tented accommodation, it gave the best feel of communing with nature - especially with the baboons barking not too far away.

We had a brilliant guide (Johnny) for our sundowner and early morning walks - very informative and very sensitive to our capabilities." See all these reviews: 14n in Namibia

"The location is fantastic and the lodge very laid back.

A great place to relax for a couple of days, with great food, walks and staff" See all these reviews: 13n in Namibia
