Erongo Wilderness Lodge is situated in a special wilderness area, in the 20 000ha Erongo Mountain Nature Conservancy,where desert, mountain and bushveld ecosystems meet. This pristine area straddles the Erongo Mountains, a natural reserve within a vast volcanic crater complex.

Here, in a secluded valley, you will find 10 luxury tented chalets in a dramatic setting of granite boulders and breathtaking views.

Raised wooden walkways and natural stone steps connect the chalets to the main area, where the restaurant, lounge, swimming pool and sundowner deck invite you to relax and fully unwind.

The open-plan lounge and restaurant overlooks a floodlit waterhole, and is warmed by a central fireplace in the winter.

There are many activities and nearby attractions to enjoy, such as nature drives, Namibia's only wine producer, microlighting, quad biking, additional Bushman rock art sites, various gem jewellery and other craft outlets in nearby Omaruru.

Children's policy: Much of the charm of Erongo lies in its tranquil wilderness setting and may therefore not always be appreciated by all children. It is a condition therefore that adults accompanying children take full responsibility for the conduct and safety of their children.

The lodge is situated within the Erongo Mountain Nature Conservancy in Namibia, 2.5 hours from Windhoek, near the town of Omaruru.
