The suite, although within walking distance to Wolwedans Desert Lodge, is completely separate. Spacious to say the least, roll up the tented sides and you immerse yourself in the awe of your surroundings. Even the view from the bathroom looks like a water colour landscape painting. It’s surreal.
While natural with comfortable charm to make you feel at home, this seems a place only your imagination could fathom. But then there you are relaxing on the deck, enjoying a sundowner in perfect solitude.
At night enjoy the stars. As a dark sky museum, it doesn’t get much better than this. Even the Milky Way seems close enough to touch.
Romantic and private with the added luxuries of being waited on. Private meals prepared by your own chef and private activities with your own guide. You’ll feel as special here as the place you find yourself. It’s truly other-worldly.
A minimum of 2 night stay is required. Although it's entirely worth a longer stay. You can take our word for it.
Top class luxury within the private NamibRand Reserve, the only other lodges in the reserve also fall under the Wolwedans Collection. The classic camps being Wolwedans Desert Lodge and Wolwedans Dune Camp and the other premier camps Wolwedans Dune Camp Private, Boulders Safari Camp and Wolwedans Plains Camp.
Scenic morning, afternoon and sundowner drives; bushman walk; Solitude (a silent meditative experience); Wolwedans Village Tour; Wolwedans Desert Sundowners and e-bikes
Optional extra activities (to be booked in advance) that can also be done from Wolwedans include scenic flights; hot air ballooning; sleep outs & wellness (massages and beauty therapy) and horse riding. Keep in mind that the transfer to the hot air ballooning take off point is 90 minutes in an open safari vehicle.
Wolwedans Lodges now offer incredible new ways to experience the magic of the Namib Desert. The Desert Sleep Out lets you spend a night under a blanket of stars, surrounded by pure stillness. For a more intimate escape, the Star Bed at Dune Camp offers a private open-air sleep experience with unbeatable stargazing. If you're craving true peace and quiet, the Silence & Solitude Experience gives you the chance to fully disconnect and soak in the beauty of nature like never before.
Sustainability is at the heart of Wolwedans, recognised as a Global Ecosphere Retreat by The Long Run. The lodge promotes a holistic approach to conservation that enhances livelihoods and fosters intercultural dialogue. During the Covid lockdown in 2020, Stephen Brückner established The AridEden Project to balance people, planet, and profit in all of Wolwedans' initiatives.
Guests contribute to sustainability through a nightly Sustainability Levy, which includes a park fee and supports the Wolwedans Foundation’s 5C’s Sustainability framework. The lodge employs an all-Namibian team and runs the Desert Academy for hospitality training, alongside various skills development projects. It also contributes to the conservation of the NamibRand Nature Reserve, promoting sustainable tourism and community resilience.
The Wolwedans Foundation focuses on long-term community outreach and education, providing accredited qualifications to young Namibians in hospitality and culinary arts. This initiative has supported over 300 trainees through the Desert Academy and the Nice Academy. The Foundation levy on guest invoices helps fund vocational training and community upliftment, reflecting Wolwedans' commitment to inspiring a sustainable and inclusive approach to tourism.
