Erongo Wilderness Lodge is nestled amid the granite formations of the Erongo Mountains – a spectacular feature in the heart of a country renowned for its scenic beauty. Flanked by the Namib Desert to the West and mixed-woodland savannah to the East, the mountains form a confluence of ecosystems that give rise to a remarkable biodiversity, of plant, reptile, mammal and bird species that are endemic to Namibia.
Accommodation is comprised of 10 tented chalets, built on stilts amongst the rocks, ensuring peace and privacy. 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. Each tent has a private deck and bush style mini-bar.
Walking is the best way to experience the beauty of the Erongo Mountains when the guides will share their knowledge of the local fauna, flora and folklore on walks over granite domes and through rich valleys. Nature drives in open-topped Landcruisers are also available and drives may include a visit to “Paula’s Cave” – a secluded treasure trove of beautiful and ancient rock art.
