LUXURY AND ECO-FRIENDLY CAMPS
A founding member of the Global Ecosphere Retreats, Wolwedan’s collection of luxury, eco-friendly camps provide the perfect base from which to experience the wonders of the NamibRand Nature Reserve.
From a tranquil valley to the top of a dune plateau, each camp has been carefully positioned to ensure glorious views across the desert. Raised wooden decking and roll-up canvas walls ooze old-world charm and give an authentic safari feel, as well as leaving a light environmental footprint. Sustainability is at the heart of Wolwedans, with many measures in place – such as solar power and grey-water systems – to help preserve the desert’s ecosystem.
Accommodation ranges from spacious, ensuite chalets at the Dunes Lodge to classic tents at Boulders Camp. Whichever you choose, you can be sure of a homely, personalised service and all of the creature comforts – cosy down duvets, hot showers and wholesome, organic meals to name a few. And when you’re not at camp, you could find yourself on a guided walking safari or scenic drive in search of intriguing desert wildlife. Or drifting across the 400,000 acre reserve in a hot air balloon.

We had a wonderful safari experience in South Luangwa, Zambia this September. Despite a few unexpected setbacks behind the scenes, everything ran seamlessly for us. Our driver and guide were outstanding, and the standard of accommodation was truly first class.
Jonny took the time to discuss all the options with us and tailored every detail to our wishes. He suggested thoughtful add-ons, arranged excellent guides, and created a brilliant itinerary packed with maps, tips, and all the information we needed for exploring the two countries we visited. An absolute trip of a lifetime to Argentina and Brazil.
