"Erongo Wilderness Lodge review"
"Erongo Wilderness Lodge review"
The pool and the area around it are ideal to relax in before tackling the journey home. A visit to Omaruru is an interesting experience.
It would be useful to have some sort of alarm system like in Kulala and Doro Nawas as the chalets are spread out. Emergencies do happen." See all these reviews: 10n in Namibia
With regards emergencies, Roger tells us that one of their security guards is detailed to patrol around the tents at night – hence if any guest calls out, then the guard should hear them, and radio the managers for assistance. He put this system in some time ago and, to date, he tells us that it has worked well.

"wonderful walking amongst the rocks"
The self guided trails were exciting and easy to follow and the guided walk was very informative and enjoyable. the dip in the pool was very welcome and the sundowner trek a pleasant experience. T
he staff were all very professional and friendly. Being at this lodge reinforced our feeling of freedom and wilderness offered by the country and made us feel very reluctant to leave and return to the hubub of Europe." See all these reviews: 17n in Namibia

"Erongo Wilderness Lodge review"
It was very hot and there was a lot of irritating insects.
Not enough to do. Bird walk disappointing and very few animals." See all these reviews: 5n in Botswana; 4n in Namibia; 2n in Zambia
"A wonderful experience"
Genuine welcome from staff at the outset and Brian and Adele appeared so at peace with what they are doing. Fantastic location and some of the best food we had eaten. One of the highlights after dinner was Brian showing us the African wild cat, genet, resident porcupines and geckos.
Accommodation great, feels a bit more like proper camping, only a little draughty and cool at night but that was only because we didn't put the flaps down because we were too tired! Useful mni bar. Enjoyed the Sundowner and the long, long walk the next day. Our guide was excellent. This is a must stay location." See all these reviews: 12n in Namibia
