A superb base for exploring the Wolwedans Reserve
Boasting a wonderful location and comortable accommodation, Wolwedans Dune Camp is a worthy addition to any Namibia itinerary
Location: Wolwedans Dune Camp sits perched on the edge of a 250-metre-high dune within the vast NamibRand Nature Reserve. With sweeping views across arid plains to distant mountains, the camp is a tranquil retreat immersed in one of Namibia’s most unspoiled desert landscapes. Its elevated position ensures uninterrupted panoramas and breathtaking sunsets.
Rooms: The camp accommodates up to 16 guests in six tented rooms and one two-bedroom Private Suite. Raised on wooden platforms, each room blends canvas and timber to suit the desert climate. Interiors are spacious and elegantly minimal, featuring king-size beds, en-suite indoor and outdoor bathrooms, and private decks equipped with ‘Wolwedans Chillers’ for cooling off in summer. The Private Suite includes a shared lounge and is perfect for families or friends travelling together.
Amenities: Dune Camp’s main areas, comprising a lounge, dining area, and tea room, are set across interlocking decks that showcase the spectacular surroundings. Meals are typically enjoyed at a shared long table, fostering a communal atmosphere, though private dining can be arranged. The fire pit is a natural gathering place for evening stories beneath the stars.
Activities: Guests enjoy a wide range of included activities such as scenic drives, e-biking, bushman walks, desert sundowners, and cultural visits. Optional experiences include hot air ballooning, horse riding, spa treatments, and unforgettable desert sleep-outs under the stars, available only at Dune Camp and Mountain View Suite.
Sustainability: Wolwedans operates with a light footprint ethos. Rooms are designed to maximise natural airflow, avoiding the need for air conditioning, and the camp forgoes energy-heavy amenities like hairdryers. Every aspect of the experience is built around environmental harmony and meaningful connection with the desert.
