WOLWEDANS COLLECTION Class ★★★★★

The Namib Desert is one of the most starkly beautiful places on earth. At first harsh and unforgiving, it inevitably reveals a world of life and majesty to the patient and open visitor. Wolwedans (literally, “Wolf Dance”) is a collection of five distinct lodges in a unique location in the red dunes of the Namib Desert.

Wolwedans offers visitors whatever they are looking for in their trip to the Namib – be that luxury and pampering, or creature comforts and adventure. The opportunity to stay in five-star luxury is there, but be aware that Wolwedans is located in one of the most remote places in Africa. That means it is a holiday destination for those who seek solitude, spiritual peace, and rustic adventure.

Where you intercept the C19 turn left and after some 5km, turn right onto the D845. Travel some 16 km’s and turn left onto the C27. You stay on the C27 heading south until you reach the first NamibRand signboard. Carry on straight and remain on this road for approx. 45 km until you find the Wolwedans gate on the right hand side. Follow the signs to the Wolwedans farmhouse/reception, which is another 20 km’s from the gate. From here you will be transferred to the Wolwedans Dune Camp or Wolwedans Dunes Lodge. Please do not leave the main road!
