The NamibRand Nature Reserve is an area of timeless desert with photogenic dunes and mountains and superbly clear night skies. At Wolwedans Desert Lodge you need stir no further than your chalet to appreciate this beauty - simply roll up the canvas sides to reveal the views, and then roll them down again when you crave some privacy. Each chalet has an en-suite bathroom with twin hand basins, a shower and flush toilet, and a private veranda with ample seating.

The main lodge is reached via wooden walkways. The lounge has welcoming armchairs and sofas, perfect for snuggling into as you strike up a conversation, and there's a cosy library where you can curl up with a book. There are 2 dining rooms where meals are usually eaten as a group. The extensive main complex is built across a series of decks atop the sand. There are two lounges, a number of sundowner decks, a tea deck, a library, a wine cellar and two dining rooms.

The many activities provide different means of exploring the reserve: you can drive across large tracts of desert in a 4x4, accompany a guide on a nature walk, observe the scenery from horseback and take to the skies by small plane or hot air balloon for fabulous and far-reaching views. A visit to the village where most of Wolwedans staff live offers an interesting insight into local life.
