Erongo Safari Trips & Tours

Picturesque, peaceful and quiet, Erongo is for hiking and game drives to discover unique wildlife.

An undulating landscape of gently rolling hills, a light smattering of lush, green woodland and a few commercial farms thrown in for good measure. No we’re not talking about Scotland; this is Erongo, a remarkably picturesque piece of Namibian countryside between Windhoek and Swakopmund (and, handily, an excellent stopover if you’re on your way to or from Sossusvlei). Without doubt, the star of the show is the Erongo Mountain Range – 60 million year old granite gargantums rising to almost 2300 metres and home to ancient bushmen rock art, scurrying dassies and excellent hiking. And a close second is Erongo Wilderness Conservancy, an impressive amalgamation of bush, mountain and desert ecosystems with a healthy dose of wildlife.

Places to Visit

What to do in Erongo

Watched over by 130-million-year-old peaks, Erongo feels like a place trapped in time, and naturally hiking is a major feature on any itinerary. Dubbed the ‘Matterhorn of Namibia’, the Spitzkoppe is the most famous and offers endless trails to hike or climb. If you’re a photographer, the Spitzkoppe at dawn or dusk shouldn’t be missed! The area is also peppered with fascinating archaeological and rock art sites, available to explore with an expert guide. Although excursions on foot are the most common, day and night drives are also available and offer opportunities to see the Big Five, spotted hyena, cheetah, and bat-eared fox.
