Erindi Private Game Reserve Safari

Africa's best tailor-made safaris

Erindi Private Game Reserve

Erindi Private Game Reserve is a premier luxury safari destination in central Namibia, renowned for its commitment to conservation and ecotourism. While on a Namibia safari here, expect exclusive wildlife encounters within its vast landscapes.

Must-Visit Areas in Erindi Private Game Reserve

No day visitors are allowed in Erindi, so to explore the reserve, stay at Old Traders Lodge, and while on game drives, visit waterholes for magnificent animal sightings:

Old Traders Lodge: A Luxurious Safari Escape

This luxury accommodation boasts breathtaking views of the surrounding wilderness. There are 51 luxurious safari suites tucked between indigenous trees. The restaurant and viewing deck offer incredible views across a busy waterhole, a hotspot for wildlife activity.

*Please note that the lodge is undergoing renovations and not currently taking bookings.

Waterholes: Breathtaking Wildlife Encounters

The waterholes at Erindi are strategically placed for optimal wildlife viewing. These areas are the best places to visit while on guided game drives. Enjoy these drives in open 4×4 vehicles with knowledgeable guides who will share fascinating insights into the reserve’s fauna and flora.

When’s the Best Time to Visit Erindi Private Game Reserve?

The dry season (May to October) is the best time to go to Erindi. While winter nights can be cold, you can enjoy clear skies and minimal rainfall. Thanks to the dry conditions, animals are easier to spot congregating around the remaining water sources.

During the wet season (November to April), rainfall is more present, creating muddy conditions, which can put a damper on your safari. But this time of the year is fantastic for birdwatching safaris in Namibia.

Animals Found in Erindi Private Game Reserve

Erindi is home to over 20,000 animals, including elephants, lions, leopards, cheetahs, both black and white rhinos, hyenas, and wild dogs. You could even have the opportunity to spot the incredibly rare pangolin!

For birders, Erindi has over 300 endemic bird species. Some you may spot include the grey go-away bird, also known as a lourie, vultures, grey herons, and white-tailed shrikes (only found in Namibia and Angola!)

How to Get to Erindi Private Game Reserve

The game reserve is approximately a two and a half hour drive via transfer north of Windhoek. There is also an airstrip near Old Traders Lodge, which is easily accessible by private charter.
