Brilliant Start - nestled amidst red dunes and set against a backdrop of unparalleled beauty, Wolwedans provides the perfect base from which to explore the desert.
Beauty On Your Doorstep - enchanting panoramas within walking distance.
Dreamy Desert Activities - interpretive scenic drives in open Landrovers and nature walks with resident field guides reveal the fascinating wonders of the desert - as do picnics in the wild, sundowners on the dunes and dinners by candlelight.
Wolwedans, which takes its name from the Afrikaans "where the wolves dance", is situated in the heart of NamibRand Nature Reserve, just south of Sossusvlei. Positioned on the edge of a 250-metre high dune, Wolwedans Dune Camp sleeps a maximum of 12 guests in a totally unspoilt setting.
The sundowner deck with its elevated fireplace is the central meeting point of the camp, providing a cosy and relaxed ambience.
Whilst Wolwedans Dune Camp aims at accommodating those guests in need of relaxed comfort and space, 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, intimate atmosphere, capturing the romance of a bygone era.
Accompanied by experienced guides, visitors are introduced to the many facets of NamibRand Nature Reserve's desert habitat with its diverse fauna and flora - on foot, by car, or from the air. In fact, a special attraction at NamibRand is hot-air ballooning. If a plane is available, scenic flights to the Diamond Coast and Sossusvlei are undertaken during the late afternoons.
For hiking enthusiasts, a walking trail can be arranged, while for mountaineers, a 2-day hiking trail into the impressive Losberg Mountain is in the making, where you would spend your first night at Wolwedans, then do the hike, spending a night under the stars in the mountain, and return back to Wolwedans for lunch and a well-deserved afternoon at leisure.
