Wolwedans Dune Camp

Once the hunting ground of the Spotted Hyena, Wolwedans takes its name from the African for where the wolves dance. The very word conjures up an aura of mystery and romance which, when visiting Wolwedans, the nature and the rhythm of the desert will evoke within you. Nestled amidst the dunes in the heart of NamibRand Nature Reserve and set against a backdrop of unparalleled beauty, Wolwedans provides the perfect base from which to explore vast stretches of awe-inspiring nature. Across this diverse canvas of contrasting landscapes traverse an exciting variety of large and small desert creatures - as wild and ancient as their habitat.

Located on the very edge of a 250-metre high dune, the Dune Camp overlooks the prominent Losberg Mountain towards the east. Heading west, the Chateau viewpoint - one of the reserve's most enchanting panoramas - can be reached on foot in less than five minutes. A sundowner in the dunes, facing the sun as it sets over the Bushman Hills, is an experience to share with someone close.

The Camp sleeps a maximum of 12 guests in a totally unspoilt setting. Guests stay in comfortable tents pitched on wooden platforms and these are furnished with standard beds, bedside tables and a suitcase rack. Each tent has a spacious Veranda and a private Bathroom fitted with a hot Shower, Washbasin and Flush Toilet. Meals are enjoyed at the central lapa.

The main complex - also built on stilts - consists of a Bar and Lounge, sundowner Decks with a Fireplace and a spacious Dining Room. All communal areas open out onto a Veranda with a superb view of the surroundings. Three Chalets are directly accessible from the main complex by wooden walkways and thus easily accessible for elderly and handicapped guests. The Lounge, Dining area and the open-plan kitchen allows guests to chat to their chef while he is preparing a three-course dinner, guaranteeing a cosy ambience. A sundowner Deck with Fireplace provides a relaxed atmosphere for brilliant star-gazing. Whilst the Lodge aims at accommodating those guests in need of relaxed comfort, the Camp is a more down-to-earth and close to nature experience. Ideally suited for the younger and more adventurous traveller. The charm of the Camp lies in its tranquil and intimate atmosphere, capturing the romance of a bygone era.
