Wolwedans Collection

Namibia

In a land of endless plains and vast blue skies, apricot-hued dunes and granite boulders, Wolwedans is a collection of stylish, desert-chic camps that evoke magic. Here, in the middle of the private NamibRand Nature Reserve, guests go slow and disconnect to reconnect be it with nature, themselves or their fellow travellers, and the world itself.

The desert experience is entirely unique; each camp and villa has been perfectly situated to make the most of the natural surroundings and activities are designed as an escape from reality, be it horse riding across the dunes, e-biking, shifting your perspective on a walk with the Bushmen, sleeping under the stars or enjoying a moment of silent consciousness. To top it all off, Wolwedans has always been guided by an approach in which people, planet and profit are of equal importance, ensuring the conservation of the NamibRand for generations to come. Visit and be part of the future.
