Namibia - Places To Stay

Central Damaraland - Erongo Wilderness Lodge is situated in a remote part of Damaraland surrounded by the Erongo Mountains. The lodge has 10 tented chalets, built on stilts, set against towering granite formations. Each chalet has its own niche amongst the rocks, ensuring peace, privacy and exclusivity. The luxury Meru tents are pitched under steep thatched roofs for shade, and have netting across all windows and doors, allowing only the breeze to enter. The en-suite bathrooms are built around the existing rocks and trees, naturally.

Children of all ages are welcome, although the lodge does not cater specifically for children in terms of special activities.

Nature drives on the lodge property are conducted in 2 x 10 seater Land Cruisers, which are configured for game viewing (i.e. open-topped). The excursions are led by either of our 2 qualified guides, both of whom are local to the area. In the immediate vicinity of the lodge are a number of activities and attractions, including; the region's only wine producer, microlighting, quad biking, additional Bushman Rock Art sites, various gem jewellery and other craft outlets in nearby Omaruru.

The lodge is situated within the Erongo Mountain Nature Conservancy. The Conservancy comprises 30 privately owned farms, covering an area of over 200 000 hectares, that have joined together in order to protect an area of incredible bio-diversity. The Erongo Mountains have particular importance in Namibia, as they host a vast array of plant, reptile, mammal and bird species that are endemic or near endemic to Namibia. The area is currently being fenced off and will soon be home to numerous re-introduced endangered Black Rhino. A project to re-introduce the near-endemic Black-Faced Impala is also in the pipeline.
