Set amongst the phenomenal landscapes of the NamibRand Nature Reserve, this modest but refined camp is dwarfed by the huge red dunes that surround it. Wolwedans Dune Camp (along with the other camps in the Wolwedans Collection) is privately owned and prides itself on delivering a personal experience, full of luxury, privacy and tranquillity. The focus is on a pristine wilderness experience, with considerably fewer tourists than the neighbouring national park, and there is an array of laid back activities on offer, from horse-riding to hot air balloon flights, sundowners with a view and spectacular, all-day drives through the desertscapes.

The six tents are raised on wooden decks, each with sensational views of the desert plains and rugged mountains ahead. They are spacious and stylishly furnished with four-poster beds, large dressing tables and ensuite bathrooms. The sizeable front veranda can accommodate your bed if you wish to sleep under the stars, and each also has a ‘Chiller’ - a small, icy plunge pool that offers a glorious respite from the desert heat. Up the dune is the Family Suite, a beautiful two-bedroom two-bathroom villa with its own lounge and private ‘Chillers.’
Dune Camp is that dreamy (and very rare combination) of luxury and remoteness - and accompanied by some of the best views in the world.
If you’re feeling active, book a horse ride across the plains, and gallop alongside zebra and gemsbok, springbok and ostriches.
The bedrooms are spaced well apart, but Dune Camp is in the middle of the desert so you may be aware of your neighbours at times.
