Erindi Game Reserve is a jewel in the heart of
the wild Namibian landscape.
The reserve of 70 000ha is situated 40km east of the town of Omaruru
between the Erongo Mountain Nature Conservancy and the Omataku Mountains.
Namibia has its fascinating desert, its own canyon, the Etosha pan
and endless savannah, and on a vast mountainous plain lie Erindi,
translated as "The Place of Water" in local Herero, with
more than 12 000 head of game teeming over an unbelievably large
game reserve, where even rare and endangered species are being conserved
and managed in a manner that allows man to experience what it was
once like to live in undisturbed Africa…
Erindi falls within the Nama Karoo biome and is arid to semi-arid
characterized by scattered low dwarf shrubs interspersed with grasslands.
Erindi consists of an amazing array of diverse landscapes including
mountains, riverine thickets, inselbergs ("island mountains")
and grassland savannahs for as far as the eye can see.The Game Reserve
is also involved in leopard research, being eco friendly as well
as rehabilitation project.

Early morning Game Drives The day begins before
first light with an early wake up call.We meet at the main lodge
where the kitchen prepares hot brewed coffee, tea, home made rusks,
muffins and fresh fruit juice.
We depart in the Land Rovers, the air crisp and the morning alive
with the sounds of the bush.
The rangers have an intimate knowledge of the environment, reading
signs of last night’s activity they take us into their world.
Evening Game Drives A short trip takes us to where
all the vehicles meet for sundowners. Intense golden hues make the
evening surreal as we sip on cocktails and enjoy light snacks. The
light softens after a magnificent sunset, as the sun dips behind
the horizon, the air cools day transforms to night.
