After a tea break at the farmhouse you will go on a short introductory tour of the NamibRand arriving at the lodge for a light lunch. Wolwedans Dunes Lodge provides the ambience of a tented camp, but gives the comfort and protection of a permanent building.

The entire lodge is constructed on wooden platforms and overlooks panoramic vistas in all directions, capturing the desert in an intimate and memorable way. The lodge accommodates only 18 guests in spacious chalets, which are directly accessible from the main complex by a wooden walkway.

In the afternoon you will go on a scenic drive by Land Rover, accompanied by an experienced guide who will introduce you to the many facets of NamibRand Nature Reserve’s desert habitat with its manifold fauna and flora. You will arrive back at the lodge in time for sundowners and a marvellous candlelight dinner under a blanket of stars. Overnight at Wolwedans Dunes Lodge on a full board basis.
