Erongo Wilderness Lodge | Damaraland Lodges

Introduction

Erongo Wilderness Lodge is nestled 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.

This Damaraland Wilderness Lodge is a founder member of The Erongo Mountain Nature Conservancy, joining 30 private landowners in a collective effort to conserve and protect this natural treasure of over 200 000ha in extent.

Rooms and Suites

Erongo Wilderness Lodge has 10 tented chalets, built on stilts, set against towering granite formations. Each chalet has its 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.

With its own private deck, bush-style mini-bar, and spectacular setting, each chalet is the best way to experience the lush Erongo environment.
