Wolwedans Dunes Lodgeclick on any image above to view the full size images GENERAL INFORMATION
Wolwedans Dunes Lodge is perched on top of a dunes plateau and overlooks panoramic vistas in all directions, capturing the desert in a most memorable way.
The building style is a combination of wooden structures, large canvas blinds and windows that open up to the desert beyond. The lodge reflects the ambience of a tented camp, but provides the comfort and protection of a permanent building.
The main complex - which has completely been rebuilt during 2003 - consists of two lounges, a number of sundowner decks, a fireplace, a tea deck, a library, the wine cellar and two dining rooms.
All communal areas of the lodge open out onto verandahs with superb views. It is this variety of recreational areas, which make a visit both relaxing and exciting.
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. 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.
The classic programme - that is if you stay for two nights - would entail an afternoon drive on the day of arrival, followed by a full day-safari with picnic lunch en-route.
Alternatively you can join one or two half-day excursions, i.e. if you feel like lazing around for an afternoon, simply admiring the views and colours which change by the hour - the choice is entirely yours.
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.
ROOMSEach of the nine spacious Chalets with en-suite bathrooms leads onto a private veranda and vast stretches of untouched sand. Sleeping with your canvas blinds open is as good as sleeping under the stars.
