Wolwedans Private Camp
Country: | |
NAMIBIA | | Location: | | Namibrand přírodní rezervace | | Description: | | Wolwedans, which takes its name from the African - "where the wolves dance", is situated in the heart of NamibRand Nature Reserve, just south of Sossusvlei. Nestled amidst red dunes and set against a backdrop of unparalleled beauty, Wolwedans provides the perfect base from which to explore vast stretches of awe-inspiring nature and learn about an exciting variety of desert creatures.
Our selection of small and elegant safari camps provide ample opportunity to meet guests' different expectations and preferred levels of comfort. Wolwedans is a place to arrive, to be, to learn and to unwind whilst being looked after by a friendly and involved local team. Wolwedans is not a 'dune hotel' or a 'one-night-stop' destination, which can be 'ticked off en-route to the next tourist hot spot'.
We seek to provide an honest, relaxed and down-to-earth experience free of "wannabe" fanciness and pretence. So if you are an open- minded and nature-loving individual in search of a unique desert experience off the beaten track, then Wolwedans is for you. Feel invited to share with us an amazing way of life, and the dream of conserving the nature we live in.
NamibRand Nature Reserve
Located some 60 km's south of Sossusvlei, NamibRand is synonymous with some of Africa's most breathtaking locations. The special attraction of this private reserve is the diversity of desert landscapes in one cohesive area. A quote by well-respected travel writer Amy Schoemann says it all:
"Imagine the flamboyant magnificence of the Sossusvlei dunes, the mystique and subtle beauty of the Skeleton Coast and the legendary red sands of the Kalahari synthesised into one multifaceted desert reserve and you have NamibRand, a privately owned conservation area of over 180.000 hectares. Add to it inselbergs that look like beehives dripping with chocolate sauce, vast fields of mysterious fairy circles, an intriguing history and a species-rich flora and fauna (including Namibia's only true endemic, the Dune Lark) and you might have an inkling of what makes this reserve so unusual. "*
Virtually all facets of the Namib are represented here, creating a living tapestry of colours and shapes that make it a visual utopia for artists and photographers. Game species found in the reserve include Gemsbok, Mountain and Plains Zebra, Springbok, Red Hartebeest, Bat-eared Fox, Spotted Hyena, Cape Fox and African Wildcats. The more rocky areas are inhabited by Kudu, Klipspringer, Baboon and Leopard, while the dunes harbour a rich and diverse micro-fauna. Over a hundred species of birds have been recorded.
The main objective of NamibRand Nature Reserve is the conservation of this beautiful land on a self-sustainable basis. Conservation comes first and hence, right from the outset, the number of guests this wilderness paradise can and should accommodate has been restricted. Despite the tremendous potential for ongoing tourist developments, it was decided that every bed, in theory, must be surrounded by 1500 hectares of wilderness - now and forever. Lodges and Camps are limited to 20 beds in one location and strict self-imposed rules govern the park. NamibRand is a sanctuary free of tour buses and self-driving 4x4 rowdies who too often leave their mark on the wild. This defines its exclusivity and makes it the pristine destination it is today.
Inviting (true) nature lovers to share in this dream contributes to the aims of NamibRand, as every visitor pays a fixed daily fee, which is directly channeled into the conservation of NamibRand Nature Reserve.
Private Camp
Situated in the quiet seclusion of an idyllic valley, this splendid Suite caters for four guests exclusively. It is the perfect getaway for honeymooners or individuals seeking uncompromising privacy and solitude.
The idea of the Private Camp is to get away for a day or two - not doing much except spending quality time with a partner or friends. Guided activities are not part of the package and the emphasis is on pure relaxation. Browsing through the library, taking walks in the plains and preparing your own meals (we supply all foods and beverages, you cook and serve 'entre-nous') will keep you fully occupied.
It is recommended that guests, who have not been with us before, book the Private Camp in combination with a night at the Lodge or Dune Camp, joining some of the activities before seeking total seclusion. Should this not be for you, the Private Camp can also be booked with all services and activities included - that is a private Chef and your personal field guide.
Private Camp - your 'home away from home' - comprises two spacious bedrooms, two bathrooms, a veranda and the lounge, combining a study, the living-room, a dining area and a fully equipped open plan kitchen. The building style is a combination of wood and canvas, which opens into the nature beyond. | | Type of accommodation: | | camping | | Location: | | National park - protected landscape area | | Star rating: | | | | Fittings: | | | | Sport in place: | | | | Sport in neighborhood: | | |
