I am Wolwedans Dune Camp. Nestled along the edge of a 250-meter high dune, I offer pristine views out into the burnt orange savannah backed by the majestic Nubib Mountain Range. Just south of Sossusvlei I boast a total of 8 safari tents strewn along the sand in a crescent moon shape. Pitched on elevated wooden platforms I provide my guests with an intimate and unique lodging experience in a privately owned conservancy of over 200,000 hectares. Spot the occasional Oryx at the nearby watering hole, meet fellow travelers around the evening bonfire while sipping on some hot tea and exchange stories during the family-style dinner. My days are spectacular, but the beauty doesn’t stop after the sun has set. My unrivaled reserve is Africa's only International Dark Sky Reserve, so sit back and watch as the 1000s of stars clearly sparkle into view against the pitch black backdrop.

Advanced arrangement is necessary with a nominal fee. Horseriding: Your first horseback ride is included in your stay. Besides walking, there is no better way to explore the vast landscape of the NamibRand. Please arrange your horseback riding experience prior to your arrival and be aware that you cannot book between the months of December - March as it is too hot for the horses.
