Erindi Private Game Reserve, Wildlife refuge near Okahandja, Namibia
The reserve encompasses central Namibian terrain with varied landscapes including granite formations, river systems, and sandstone mountains that create distinct habitats. These different environments support the wildlife populations found throughout the property.
Two South African owners transformed three cattle farms into a wildlife sanctuary during the 1990s, beginning with 55 giraffes. This initial effort established the foundation for what the reserve has become today.
The name comes from the Herero language and means 'place of water', reflecting the natural water sources that shape the landscape. This connection to water remains visible in how the terrain and wildlife depend on these resources today.
Visitors can stay at Old Traders Lodge located within the reserve, which requires advance bookings. Planning your visit around weather conditions and animal behavior will help you get the most from your time there.
The property maintains strict conservation practices while allowing visitors controlled access to observe the wildlife that lives there. This balance between protection and visitation creates a carefully managed experience for those who come.
