Situated in the middle of the NamibRand Nature Reserve are the many different Wolwedans resorts. All of the camps provide their guests with the best opportunity to experience Namibia, Africa’s beautiful nature and wilderness, as well as the many animals that call this part of the world home. While each resort in the Wolwedans’ family offers guests individual attention, warmth and personality, they are all unique in their settings on the reserve and give a chance for guests to get closer to nature than ever before.
Wolwedans is located within the NamibRand nature reserve and is about 20 kilometers from the reserve’s main gate. Guests who are planning on driving from places such as Windhoek will need to hire a four-wheel drive vehicle as many of the roads are gravel and dirt. The Dune Camp is located within the reserve via Wolwedans’ Dune Lodge, the main reception area for all of the Wolwedans accommodations. Children are welcome; however, they are the responsibility of the parents and no type of babysitting service will be provided. They are expected to be well-behaved.
The Dune Camp has a unique location as it was built on the edge of a 250 meter high dune. The main lodge offers guest a lounge, dining area and open plan kitchen with a sundowner deck complete with fireplace. The entire resort is relaxed and rustic, providing guests with a unique experience that allows them to get back to nature.
There are six dome tents at the Dune Camp that are equipped with two twin beds or a double bed. Each tent is provided with quilts and linens, solar powered lighting, hot shower, flush toilet, and private deck. The decks with each tent are large enough for guests to enjoy a safe sleep out if they wish to sleep under the stars during their stay.
Breakfast, lunch and dinner are served at the Dune Camp with dinner being taken at the communal table while conversing with the cooks in the open plan kitchen.
Visitors to the Wolwedans’ lodges have the opportunity to enjoy a wide range of activities thanks to the locations of each accommodation on the NamibRand Reserve. Guide safari drives are available on a full or half day basis with a picnic lunch provided for the full day drive. These drives take visitors through the reserve and offer them many photo opportunities of the native flora and fauna that call the dunes their home.
More adventurous guests will enjoy taking a hot air balloon ride or scenic flight that travels to the Diamond Coast of Namibia and Sossusvlei. These activities usually occur in the afternoon, providing guests with a spectacular view of the multi-colored dunes as the sun is going down. Those who prefer to keep their feet on the ground will enjoy the guided walks and hiking opportunities in the reserve. A two day hike into Losberg Mountain is being planned for future guests.
The Wolwedans management is in the process of developing sleep outs for all of their resorts. These sleep outs will allow guests to sleep under the stars on the dunes. All that would surround them and platform beds would be the air and the wide night sky above them.
