Wolwedans Dune Camp
NamibRand Nature Reserve, Namibia
Why we love it
The camp provides a more down-to-earth, yet stylish, experience. It has an unparalleled natural charm, which courts the young and more adventurous traveller.
Positioned on the edge of a 250-metre high dune, the Dune Camp sleeps a maximum of 12 guests in a totally pristine setting. The tents (which have recently been entirely revamped) are pitched on wooden platforms and are comfortable and spacious including a private bathroom. A generous deck allows for safe sleep-outs under the stars, imparting a rather civilized camping experience here in Namibia.
The main tent houses a lounge, dining area and an open-plan kitchen where you can chat to the desert chef, while he prepares lavish meals. Enjoy a cold drink around the camp fire
on the sundowner deck, where fellow travellers can be met and stories of the day will make their rounds in true African tradition.
The charm of the camp lies in its tranquil, intimate atmosphere, capturing the romance of a bygone era.
All meals at the Dune Camp are a lavish, but unpretentious affair. They always exude a sense of occasion with elegant table settings, candlelight and exuberant menu announcements in the local Nama language. They have a reputation for serving the best meals on the Namibian safari circuit.
Explore vast stretches of undisturbed nature, learning about small and large desert dwellers and how they survive in this harsh environment. Finish with a sundowner in the dunes.

The journey to Namibia and Serra Cafema was the best trip I’ve ever done. I really loved the remote camp, the way we travelled there (flying over the endless dunes and amazing coastline in a private plane) and the infinite hospitality, knowledge and passion of the whole team. We enjoyed a lot of activities: we visited the Himba people, which was the experience of a lifetime, took a quad bike tour and boat tour. For my birthday, they organised a private dinner at a beautiful, remote location.
