Reasons To
Visit Namibia

  • Big Cats & Safari Wildlife

    Etosha, Damaraland and the Caprivi Strip provide a fantastic array of wildlife. Lion, cheetah and leopard are all present in significant numbers, while desert adapted elephant and rhino are virtually endemic. To appreciate all this from your own vehicle is a bonus, but there is also first-class guiding to enjoy.

  • Deserts & Dunes

    The Namib Naukluft National Park boasts some of the most iconic desert scenery anywhere in the world. Sossusvlei is the most accessible area, where enormous sand dunes overlook the ethereal vleis below. Clamber up one of these dunes for highly photogenic scenes, the desert stretching away in endless ripples constantly reshaped by the winds.

  • Dramatic Coastline

    The Namibian coast line is desolate and beautiful in equal measure. Roaring dunes collide with the sea and whale bones and ship wrecks litter the shores. Kayaking amongst seals, catamaran cruises, day trips exploring the dune sea and scenic flights are just a few ways to explore this incredible area.

  • Freedom & Exploration

    Namibia is a vast, stunning and sparsely populated country. It is a fabulous country to explore and a self-drive holiday offers the freedom to move at your own pace but still enjoy the activities on offer at each destination.

  • Himba Culture

    A nomadic people, living in small settlements in remote northern Namibia, the Himba are one of Africa’s most interesting demographic groups. Largely unaffected by the modern world and highly photogenic in their distinctive dress, their society is based around cattle herding. An excursion to meet them feels uncommonly authentic and unforced.

  • Landscapes & Scenery

    Namibia is one of Africa’s most scenically varied countries, veering from desert, canyons and bleak coastlines to mountains, salt pans and lush waterways. With so many inspiring landscapes you must visit more than once to appreciate the sheer grandeur. Namibia is so sparsely populated that these wonderful backdrops are allowed space to realise their full cinematic potential.

Erongo Wilderness Lodge

The Central Highlands

Erongo Wilderness Lodge is located amid granite formations on the outskirts of an ancient volcano.

These are 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 rare confluence of ecosystems that give rise to remarkable biodiversity, including a vast array of plant, reptile, mammal and bird species that are endemic to Namibia.

The lodge has ten tented chalets, built on stilts around the hills. Each chalet is tucked away in its own niche amongst the rocks, ensuring peace, privacy and exclusivity. The tents are large and comfortable and situated under steep thatched roofs for shade. The en suite bathrooms are crafted around the existing rocks and trees. Raised lit walkways and natural stone steps connect the chalets to the main area. On top of a kopje is a restaurant and small swimming pool. Guests are able to view a multitude of animals at the floodlit waterhole particularly the resident porcupines.

Activities focus on walking and nature drives. Walking is led by guides who will share their knowledge of the local fauna, flora, and folklore on walks over granite domes and through rich valleys. You can also visit the rock art at Paula's Cave for an interesting insight into the history of the area.
