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.

The service we received from The Ultimate Travel Company was second to none. Tania took the time to understand exactly what we wanted and helped us explore every option clearly and thoroughly. Her first-hand knowledge of Kenya and safaris made a real difference – she explained everything brilliantly. The thoughtful extras, like the travel wallet and documents, were such a lovely touch – especially for someone who loves to travel well-organised! Thank you so much. We’ll definitely be back for future adventures.
