Our purpose is the Pursuit of Happiness, and Wolwedans exists to inspire a new way.
The Wolwedans Experience
Warmth and personalised service – and a commitment to care for guest and nature alike – are Wolwedans hallmarks.
Dune Camp
Positioned on the edge of a 250-metre high dune, Dune Camp has the most extraordinary views across the NamibRand Reserve. With a unique charm, it appeals to those looking for a down to earth but stylish experience.
The Camp
The lounge and dining area are situated across a network of interconnected decks, guaranteeing panoramic vistas of the mountains and boundless landscape beyond. The tented and wooden structures are ideally tailored for the desert environment, with canvas sides that can be opened to capture the cool breeze in summer, and rolled down in winter to keep you warm.
Amenities
The 6 tented rooms and 1 family suite are pitched on wooden platforms and are comfortable and spacious, including an indoor and outdoor bathroom. A generous deck outside the room allows for safe sleep-outs under the stars, and each has a “Wolwedans Chiller”, a small water-filled silo to cool off in.
Location
Plains Camp
Plains Camp is the most exclusive villa at Wolwedans. Located in the centre of a vast valley and surrounded by plains as far as the eye can see, it is your home-from-home at Wolwedans. Here, nothing is demanded of you but to relax and gaze at the ever-changing colours of the desert.
The Villa
An exclusive-use villa in the heart of the reserve, Plains Camp is the perfect getaway for families and friends seeking uncompromising privacy and solitude. The unique structure is built from timber and canvas, creating a home that blends effortlessly into the surrounding desert plains with a seamless flow between indoor and outdoor spaces.
Amenities
Location
Desert Lodge
Desert Lodge is positioned in one of the most enviable locations that the NamibRand has to offer and has a stunning outlook over orange-hued dunes and craggy mountains. This magnificent vista is at the heart of the lodge, and all the rooms and guest areas are perfectly positioned to make the most of the incredible surroundings.

Location
Boulders Camp
Boulders Camp is located around the base of a massive outcrop of granite rocks in the NamibRand plains. This tiny camp is two hours south of the other camps and as far off the beaten track as you can get. This is the place for adventure and to enjoy being completely removed from everyday life.
The Camp
Built around the base of an enormous outcrop of granite rocks, and with mountains towering behind, Boulders looks out over endless landscapes of gravel plains, dotted with the tops of submerged mountains. All the spaces are orientated to enjoy the endless views.
Amenities
Location
The Mountain View Suite
The Mountain View Suite is built over 200 square metres of deck above the dunes. It is exclusive, romantic and utterly gorgeous, with ample space to relax while staring down the valley to the distant mountains – one of the most magnificent views in the reserve.
The Suite
The Suite is located within walking distance from Desert Lodge, but feels as if you are in your own private universe. Keeping in line with the traditional Wolwedans style, the ambience is that of simple elegance embraced by a natural, comfortable charm.
Amenities
The suite offers one en-suite bedroom, a private lounge, dining area and fire-pit, plus an outside bathroom, a sleep-out deck and a plunge pool. The main veranda has a ”star-gaze” bed, which makes for a wonderful sleep-out venue during summer. The suite comes with its own chef, guide and vehicle.
Sustainability is not a side of Wolwedans; it is our heart and soul and who we are.
