Wolwedans Dunes Lodge is perched on top of a dune plateau, overlooking panoramic vistas in all directions and capturing the beauty of the Namibrand Nature Reserve.

Wolwedans Dunes Lodge 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 luxury and protection of a permanent building.

Each of the nine spacious chalets with en suite bathrooms has a private veranda which connects you to vast stretches of untouched sand.  It is possible to sleep with your canvas blinds open and feel like you are sleeping under the stars.

The main complex consists of two lounges, a number of sundowner decks, a fireplace, a tea deck, a library, the wine cellar and two dining rooms.  All communal areas of the lodge open out onto decks with superb views.

The lodge also has a swimming pool, which is suspended above the sand and is really appreciated as a place to relax and cool during the hot daytime hours.

Activities include scenic drives in open Landrovers across the unspoilt Reserve, guided walking trails, incredible sundowner locations, hot-air ballooning and scenic flights.

We recently visited this lodge and it does have a wonderful location.  This is the best option if you want that little bit of extra comfort over the tented camp option. The access to a swimming pool is terrific.
