Wolwedans Private 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, 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.

Situated in the quiet seclusion of an idyllic valley, the Private Camp catering for four guests, is the perfect getaway for honeymooners or individuals seeking uncompromising privacy and solitude. The idea of the Private Camp is to get away for a day or two - not doing much except relaxing and spending quality time with a partner. Guided activities are not part of the package and the emphasis is on pure relaxation.

The Suite comprises two spacious bedrooms with en-suite Bathroom, a Veranda and Lounge, combining a study, a Living-room arrangement, a Dining area and a fully equipped open plan Kitchen. The building style is a combination of wood and canvas, and the carefully selected furnishings bring alive the true romance of Africa.

Browsing through the library, taking walks in the plains and preparing your own meals (they supply all foods and beverages, you cook and serve entre nous) will keep you fully occupied. It is recommended that guests, who have not been there before, book the Private Camp in combination with a night at the Lodge or Dune Camp, joining in some of the activities before seeking total seclusion.

The Camp requires a minimum stay of two nights. The Private Camp can also be booked with all services and activities included, for example a private chef and your personal field guide.

The main complex is also built on stilts and 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.

The 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 an open-plan kitchen that allows guests to chat to their chef while he is preparing a three-course dinner, guarantee a cosy ambience. A sundowner deck with fireplace provides a relaxed atmosphere for brilliant star-gazing.

In 2001, NamibRand Safaris launched a new marketing concept named Club Chateau. By becoming a member of this Wolwedans Club, you can enjoy a distinct personal benefit when visiting Wolwedans in the future, and make a positive contribution towards pursuing the goals of Wolwedans and NamibRand Nature Reserve at large. Club Chateau has merit for all concerned, as it guarantees a win/win situation and helps Wolwedans to offer a desert experience that is close to perfection – thanks to your potential commitment. The executive summary as well as a detailed proposition shows you how it works. On behalf of the Wolwedans family you are invited to consider this proposition. We hope that you will see the merit in joining a circle of special people, who cherish nature as much as well appointed and charming camps, good food, fine wines and the great Namibian outdoors.
