We couldn't have wished for a better start to our Namibia trip than our stay at the Old Traders Lodge in the Erindi Private Game Reserve. To be submersed in the world of wild animals at your leisure just by relaxing on the deck of the dinner/breakfast area and have elephant, crocs, wild dogs, hippos, rhinos and such parading as...

We got engaged at Erindi. It was truly a great experiance. Even when part of the surprize was cancelled due to rain, Erindi staff quickly made other arrangements for us and made the day unforgettable.

We usually go to the Old Traders Lodge, but since Camp Elephant was opened last year we were very eager to experience it. It is advertised as luxury accomodation, and if that is what you are looking for you will be dissapointed. The bungalows are clean and neat but very basic with only a shower and no bath. Very convenient... More

You always hear about a place, but never fully understand untill you see and experience the small pleasures in live. We visited Erindi for the first time last year, and have fallen in love with the place. Wonderfull staff, clean rooms en 5 star catering. All the more why we are planning another trip to a small piece of paradise... More

By far and away the best game park in Namibia- professionally run- evident in all the attention to detail. We stayed with Namibian friends sharing a self catering chalet- a very well thought out architect designed building with excellent amenities-one of 15 located around a floodlit water hole, which was alive with both land and water based animals night and...

The last stop on our tour around Nambia and unfortunately a big disappointment. While the rooms were good, well kept and clean the staff service and food quality was pretty poor. The staff were just going through the motions, they had no interest whatsoever in their guests. They seemd bored, never welcomed you first, mostly ignored us. A typical example... More

Don t get me wrong.. Great place for animals.. The whole Africa is around.. Nice location.. But then, without animals, erindi is an industry.. Poor service, average quality, and at the end of your trip, really expensive.. For animal lovers with an appropriate wallet..

During the 2 years my family and I recently lived in Namibia, we were fortunate enough to visit Erindi several times, and it became our favourite place to visit. The food is varied and enjoyable with plenty of choices, with the viewing platform over the waterhole being a fantastic spot to spend an afternoon. The rooms are clean and very... More

The rooms are well equipped with airconditioner for the hot Namibia Somer days and a small bar fridge well stocked to use.. The bathroom are verly large and comfortable with a big bath... More

Erindi had been our last stop whilst travelling through namibia and we were tired - best to end a tour there, the rooms (though pricey but worth it) are huge (we had booked the deluxe version), beds were utmost comfortable, a private terrace nearby the fenced water-hole (lions at night, al kind of bokkies in the morning), bathrooms up to...
