Wolwedans Plains Camp

About Wolwedans Plains Camp

The most exclusive way of experiencing Namibia's iconic red dune landscapes.

This gorgeous, exclusive-use villa lies in a fairy-circle dotted grassland valley surrounded by the rugged mountains of the NamibRand Nature Reserve. Constructed from canvas, timber and with lots of open spaces and window-less walls, the scenery is at the forefront of a stay, and the location, deep in the heart of the reserve, is ideal for those looking for solitude, privacy and to simply get away from it all. The beautiful lounges, dining room and verandas (complete with their own plunge pool-style ‘Wolwedans Chillers’) offer ample space for R&R and desert contemplation, but if the mood takes you, there are plenty of activities on offer for a full desert immersion.

Property details

The property

There's a spacious, open lounge with comfortable leather sofas and antique wooden chairs, and a beautiful dark-wood dining room table is elegantly set to suit your needs. The camp combines hardwood floors and canvas with roll-up flaps, ensuring uninterrupted views of the spectacular surrounding scenery. The main areas flow out onto a veranda, which leads down to another deck, complete with a small plunge pool. There’s also a separate sala (covered lounge) with a daybed and impressive 360-degree views.

The rooms

There are four separate bedrooms at Plains Camp, two master bedrooms and two slightly smaller rooms and all are en-suite. Double or twin four-poster beds are draped with elegant white mosquito nets and classic leather chairs and other beautiful wooden furniture provide several places to sit. Each room has its own deck with reclining chairs to take in the view and the famous ‘Wolwedans Chillers’ – icy plunge pools that are the perfect antidote to the desert heat.

Activities

There's really no pressure to do anything here except relax, but if you would like to exploe the area, take advantage of the gentle drives and walks around the private reserve. There is a wide variety of wildlife to be seen (including elusive predators like leopards, cheetah, brown hyenas, Cape foxes, and caracals) but they are extremely hard to find. You're more likely to see gemsbok (oryx), springbok, zebra and black-backed jackals. You can also horse-ride, book a hot air balloon flight (at an extra cost), explore the dunes on an e-bike, visit the Wolwedans Village, and star gaze to your heart’s content.

Why we love it

The rugged mountains, desert plains, fairy circles and starry skies make for magnificent and intriguing scenery everywhere you look.

Insiders Tip

Take to the skies on a hot air balloon flight; the peaceful perspective it affords is nothing short of spectacular.

Something to think about

The summer months (November to March) can be extremely hot in the desert and there is no air conditioning at Plains Camp.
