Erongo Wilderness Lodge

Price On Request

Immerse yourself in the ultimate luxury experience at this very special destination, Erongo Wilderness Lodge. Two hours drive from Windhoek and encircled by the Erongo Mountains in a vast volcanic crater complex; desert, mountain and bushveld ecosystems combine to create the magical atmosphere found at this luxury accommodation venue.

Stay in luxury tented bungalows, built on stilts and shaded by thatched roofs, set amidst granite boulders. The raised wooden walkways and natural stone steps connect the bungalows to the main lodge situated atop a separate granite outcrop offering spectacular views over the Erongo Mountains. Each luxury ‘room’ is built amongst the rocks ensuring peace, privacy and exclusivity. These luxury ‘Meru’ style tents are pitched under steep thatch roofs for shade and all the tents have netting across the doors and windows allowing only the breeze to enter.

The restaurant is set atop a granite boulder and serves up sumptuous meals accompanied by fine wines. Dine in a partially open, thatched building with a fireplace at its centre for colder winter nights and an outside deck offering views of the sunset and floodlit waterhole. The emphasis is on offering you a setting that is conducive to complete relaxation and sheer enjoyment of the surrounding area.

Enjoy the bird, animal and plant life found around this luxury getaway by walking in the mountains, either by yourself or with an experienced guide. This bush lodge also offers you the options of nature drives, access to rock art sites, excellent birding opportunities and guaranteed relaxation in luxury accommodation. Game likely to be spotted on the daily game drives include leopard, kudu, Oryx, eland, mountain zebra, springbok and steenbok.

Because access to tents is by wooden walkways and some are steeper and further than others it is regrettably not wheelchair friendly. Also most of the charm of this luxury setting is its tranquil wilderness setting that may not appeal to children so adults are asked to take full responsibility for the conduct and safety of their children.

Enjoy a wild luxury stay in the Namibian bush at Erongo Wilderness Lodge.

Luxury accommodation is in ten tented ‘chalets’ each with private decks so that you can revel in the view in complete privacy. The en-suite bathrooms have been built in and around the existing rocks and trees. All of the ‘rooms’ are equipped with mini-bars, private safes and the amenities necessary for your comfort.

Cool off in the swimming pool or spend the day on the deck enjoying the views and serenity of the African bush. Meals are served in the stylish dining areas and comprise decadent and hearty cuisine served with style.

 

There are many activities and nearby attractions for you to enjoy at your leisure. Taking the lodge up on its guided nature walks and game drives is highly recommended as are the excursions to Namibia’s only wine producer and visits to the rock art sites, such as Paula’s Cave, in the vicinity.

Erongo Wilderness Lodge is 13 kilometres from the town of Omaruru; approximately 2.5 hours drive from Windhoek, Namibia.
