Experience
the NamibRand
Nature Reserve
Wolwedans is an experiential getaway from reality and what we are all about. We offer a range of activities that will ensure you have a completely immersive experience with us.
Scenic Drives
Explore the Vastness
Embark on a guided scenic drive across the breathtaking NamibRand Nature Reserve. Traverse rolling dunes, endless plains, and dramatic mountains as your guide shares insights into the unique flora, fauna, and geology of this desert landscape. Every turn unveils a new perspective, offering an intimate connection with the beauty and scale of the wilderness.
Sundowners
A toast to a day in the desert
Every day we gather at a scenic point to bid farewell to another magical day at Wolwedans. Sometimes we meet up with other guests at one of our sundowner decks and at other times it'll be just you on a sand dune. That said, sundowners are by no means mandatory and if you'd prefer to be back at camp this can be arranged as well.
Bushman Walks
Experience an ancient wisdom that will shift your perspective on the world.
Join a Bushman guide for a journey into the ancient traditions of the San people. Learn about their rich heritage, survival techniques, and spiritual connection to the land as you walk through the desert. This immersive experience deepens your appreciation for Namibia’s cultural and natural heritage.
Our Heart and Home Tour
The Wolwedans Village is our base camp of operations. It’s where everything happens that keeps this ship afloat with a sharp eye on the horizon.

Visit the Wolwedans Village, the operational hub and heart of the collection, where you’ll meet the team and learn about the community-driven initiatives, including the Desert Academy and sustainability projects, that make Wolwedans truly unique. End the tour with a delicious and fresh garden lunch.
Dune Biking
We've got e-bikes. Gliding along, up and down over the dunes has never been easier.
Feel the thrill of adventure as you explore the desert trails on an e-bike. This eco-friendly activity combines the fun of cycling with the ease of electric assistance, allowing you to cover more ground while soaking in the breathtaking scenery.
Silence and Solitude
We understand wanting silence when you come to visit us. That is what brought us here in the first place.
The NamibRand Nature Reserve in the Namib Desert is one of the quietest places on earth. Embrace the profound luxury of stillness with our Silence & Solitude experience. Disconnect from the world and immerse yourself in the vast, untouched wilderness of the Namib. This meditative journey invites reflection, renewal, and an unparalleled connection with nature’s quiet beauty.

Go with the flow
Where does the water we use and drink come from in the desert?
