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.

Every turn unveils a new perspective, offering an intimate connection with the beauty and scale of the wilderness. Sunrise, sunset, morning, afternoon and full day drives available.
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.
