A place where the desert, mountain, and bushveld ecosystems combine, a secluded valley where you will find your luxury tented chalets in a dramatic setting of granite boulders and awe-inspiring views- Erongo Wilderness Lodge.
The lodge has 10 tented chalets built on stilts, set against towering granite formations. Each chalet has its own place amongst the rocks, ensuring serenity, solitude and privacy. The luxury Meru tents are pitched under steep thatched roofs for shade and have netting across all of the windows and doors which allow only the gentle wind to enter. The en-suite bathrooms are cleverly built around the existing rocks and trees in a very natural way. With its own private deck, bush-style mini-bar, and spectacular setting, each chalet is the perfect way to experience the lush Erongo environment.
Accommodation at the lodge consists of ten large Mini Meru lodge tents, built on stilts with wooden floors and large wooden decks with immense views. Mosquito netting is fitted on all windows and doors. The thatch extends beyond the back of each tent to cover the bathrooms, to produce that ‘outdoorsy feel’. Walls of natural stone and existing trees ensure isolation. The bathrooms, which have showers rather than baths, are equipped with electric geysers and septic tanks. Of the 10 tents, 8 have 2 x three-quarter beds, and 2 have double beds, all made from sleeper wood. The beds are made up with duvets of colourful linen and extra blankets are provided in winter. The tents are not lockable, as it is not necessary. Access to the tents is via wooden walkways and stone steps, some of which are steeper / further from the main area than others. Two of the tents are accessible with a minimum of stairs, however the nature and location of the lodge is such that it is regrettably not wheelchair-friendly. In addition, each room has 2 reading lamps and a selection of magazines, tables & chairs, both indoors and on the veranda, a fire extinguisher as well as power points.
