Erongo is a region in eastern central Namibia.
Three camps about 1 km away from each other: Duiker's Den and Andi's Camp are exclusive camp sites, only one group allowed per camp. Barbarossa Camp is a tented camp (tents provided) with a nice large shaded meeting place. Barbarossa is self-catering, chairs, tables, cutlery, crockery provided, with a gas stove and a fridge. The 4x4 drives are easy, the owner provides a map.
Several camping spots for one party each, situated in a scenic valley of the Erongo Mountains. Bush toilet and shower. If you heat the "donkey" (wood-fired water boiler) you'll have hot water, too. No electricity. If you want to braai you need to bring a grid. The camping spots are nestled around big boulders that provide some natural shade.
