Erindi Old Trader's Lodge: A Wildlife Haven in Erindi Game Reserve
During our stay in Namibia, we had the pleasure of spending a few nights at Erindi Old Trader's Lodge, nestled within the vast and beautiful Erindi Game Reserve. The lodge offers a prime location for wildlife enthusiasts, as it overlooks a large waterhole that attracts a steady stream of animals throughout the day. From the comfort of both our dining room and private suite, we were treated to incredible up-close views of elephants, giraffes, and other wildlife coming to drink, often just a stone’s throw away. It truly felt like being in the heart of nature without leaving the luxury of the lodge.
Full-Board Experience and Convenient DiningThe lodge operates on a full-board basis, meaning all meals are provided, so we never had to worry about where to eat. Each meal was served with care, offering a variety of local and international dishes. Dining here was more than just about the food — it was an opportunity to soak in the scenery, with the waterhole in clear view, creating a perfect backdrop as we enjoyed our meals.
Unforgettable Safari ExperiencesOne of the highlights of staying at Erindi Old Trader's Lodge was the opportunity to embark on daily safaris. Each day, we joined two safaris, one early in the morning at 6 a.m. and another in the afternoon at 4 p.m. These expertly guided game drives were led by knowledgeable rangers who made the experience both informative and exciting. What set these safaris apart was the use of advanced tracking equipment, which allowed the rangers to estimate the location of various animals in the vast reserve. This significantly enhanced our chances of spotting the Big Five—and we were fortunate enough to see lions, elephants, and rhinos during our drives.
Erindi Old Trader's Lodge provided a perfect balance of comfort, adventure, and the thrill of being immersed in Namibia's stunning wildlife. If you're looking for an unforgettable safari experience in Namibia, this lodge is a fantastic choice.
