Wolwedans Dunes Lodge is perched on top of a dune plateau, overlooking panoramic vistas in all directions and capturing the beauty of the desert in one of Namibia’s most beautiful locations.

The building style is a combination of wooden structures and canvas blinds, opening up to the desert beyond. The lodge reflects the ambience of a tented camp but provides the comfort and protection of a permanent building. Each of the nine spacious chalets (most have double beds) with en-suite bathrooms, sports, and a private veranda that connects you to vast stretches of untouched sand. Sleeping with your canvas blinds open is just like sleeping under the stars. The en-suite bathrooms are large and a flask of hot water is delivered to your room for tea/coffee. There is limited internet. The main complex, which has completely been rebuilt during 2003, consists of two lounges, some sundowner decks, a fireplace, a tea deck, a library, the wine cellar, and two dining rooms, along with a swimming pool, surrounded by a wooden deck and shaded areas. All communal areas of the lodge open out onto decks with superb views. Activities are focused around the NamibRand Nature Reserve on which the lodge is found with nature drives and walks. Wolwedans really should be treated as their destination rather than as one to explore Sossusvlei (around 1.5 hours to Sesriem gate).
