All roads lead to Wolwedans and there are many ways of getting there, both by road or air. It could be part of a Namibia self-drive holiday or it could form part of a three or four night fly-in safari, ideally at the end of a one week fly-in or a drive-and-fly.
Having had nearly 15 years of hosting guests at Wolwedans and in the process gaining lots of valuable feedback, we would like to recommend, if possible, that you visit us at the end of your trip, rather than at the beginning.
There are many reasons for this, but mostly because on arriving in Namibia most people are, quite understandably, eager to get on safari and track down the elusive ‘Big Five’. To be honest, until that expectation is met, even the most stunning landscape in the world will not touch your soul as it should.
Therefore we always suggest to our guests that they visit the north of Namibia first and in the process quench their thirst for big game. Then to head west to the coast and onwards to Sossusvlei, before finally arriving at Wolwedans. We guarantee you will be in the perfect state of mind to relax and totally immerse yourself in the beauty and tranquility that has become synonymous with Wolwedans.
For guests that are keen to explore the deep south, we offer day long fly-in safaris that we recommend guests do when they have three or more nights with us (please note, the third night at Wolwedans is always half price).

Directions |

Directions to Wolwedans as follows
Coming from the North: From Windhoek you travel south via Rehoboth (tarred road), and proceed on gravel road via Kobos, Klein Aub, Rietoog and Buellspoort (B1, C24, MR47, D1206) onto the D854. 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!
Coming from Windhoek you can alternatively choose the scenic route via Spreetshoogte Pass ending at Solitaire (420 km). From Solitaire you head south on C19, turn left onto the C27 to Sesriem and proceed south on C27.
You can also travel on tarred road from WHK to Mariental, then on gravel via Maltahöhe and Tsarispass to Wolwedans (511 km).
From Swakopmund (425 km) or Walvis Bay (395 km) you travel on C14 to Solitaire and proceed on C19 and C27 to the Wolwedans Gate.
Coming from Sesriem, head south on the C27 until you reach the Wolwedans gate. Note not to enter the D845 by driving straight on, but turn right to continue on C27. This a tricky T-junction.
Coming from Lüderitz you travel on the B4 and then you turn into the C13, you may then choose to turn into the D707, which is more of a scenic route. From Betta (here you should fuel) head north-west on the C27 until you reach the Wolwedans gate.
Coming from the South: No matter where you come from, to the west of Maltahöhe the D827 meets the C27. From this point, continue north on the C27 for approx. 30 km’s where you will find the Wolwedans gate on the left hand side. Follow the description above to the Wolwedans farmhouse.
