Far away in Africa, a country exists where it is still possible to wander in a landscape that contains many more creatures than people. Namibia has its fascinating desert, its own canyon, the Etosha pan and endless savannah, but 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 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.
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.
