About The Hotel

Located in the heart of NamibRand Nature Reserve, Wolwedans is more than a collection of camps. It is a collection of dreams. In this land of blue skies and endless plains you will find beauty to feed your soul, tranquility to clear the mind, and space for your imagination to fly. You may feel completely overwhelmed at first, but then quickly settle into a landscape and immersive experience which is ‘simply out of this world’. Since its inception 25 years ago, Wolwedans has been guided by an approach where people, planet and profit are all equally important. Our long term goal is to ensure the conservation of the Pro-Namib for future generations.

Wolwedans sports five tourism properties, an active Foundation and the Desert Academy – all carried by a bracing, forward-looking, holistic and, at times, what some people would call a radical Vision, themed “The AridEden Project”. Wolwedans will quietly continue to do its work, contributing in a meaningful way to the conservation of NamibRand, the development of Namibia and its communities, and driving Rural Revival, the building of a Desert Based Economy.
