Activities at Wolwedans Boulders Camp are centred on exploring the NamibRand Nature Reserve by vehicle and on foot, with opportunities for connecting with nature in various engaging ways.
Sunrise or sunset scenic drives allow guests to be fully immersed in the desert landscape, looking out for resident wildlife, while taking in the remotest corners of the reserve. Full-day or half-day options are also available.
Guided by a knowledgeable Bushman, explore the Namib dunes on foot, taking in the small, vital details of this extraordinary ecosystem. Look out for the toktokkie beetle and the indigenous dancing white lady spider as it dashes across the sand.
Connect to nature in complete silence during this unique 30–45 minute signature solitude experience. You’ll venture to a remote, tranquil spot for some reflection time in the desert, tuning into nature, far away from all noise and distractions.
Explore the rugged beauty of the desert during a stunning horse-riding adventure, admiring the landscape and pausing along the way for a secluded picnic lunch. Please note that this activity is possible from Wolwedans Boulders, but it requires plenty of advance planning due to the camp’s remote location and incurs an additional cost.
Meet the Wolwedans team behind the scenes, learn about the community-driven initiatives, and gain insight into the Wolwedans Foundation’s AridEden mission, which works towards empowering the team and fostering environmental and sustainability awareness. Please note that this activity is possible from Wolwedans Boulders, but it requires plenty of advance planning due to the camp’s remote location.
E-bikes take you deep into the heart of the dunes and terrain, usually accessed only by 4×4 vehicles. Accompanied by experienced guides, this high-energy experience can be tailored to suit all levels, allowing experienced riders to spend a whole day outdoors with a picnic lunch. Please note that this experience incurs an additional cost and is better suited to Namibia’s cooler winter months between June and August.
*This property is unfenced and located in a wildlife area, so large and potentially dangerous animals do pass through. If you opt to stay here, always be alert when walking around the camp and request for a member of staff to escort you if you have any concerns. Any guest is escorted after dark as a matter of course
Wolwedans Boulders Camp is located in the private NamibRand Nature Reserve in south-western Namibia. The flight is a 1.5-hour private charter from Windhoek or Swakopmund to the camp airstrip. Alternatively, guests can arrive by 50-minute scheduled charter from Windhoek to Keerweder airstrip, followed by a 40-minute road transfer to camp.
The communal areas at Wolwedans Boulders Camp are designed for laidback relaxation, with the surrounding landscape taking centre stage.
Guests can take in stunning panoramic views from all angles within the homely lounge and dining tent or enjoy open-air dining on the extensive wooden deck. For quieter moments in between safari activities, the camp has a library with inviting leather sofas perfect for settling in with a good book. Outside, you’ll find a small pool for a refreshing dip, and also the camp’s fire-pit, where guests socialize and share stories of the day’s experiences in the NamibRand.
Built into a landscape of granite boulders, Wolwedans Boulders Camp welcomes a maximum of ten guests with its five spacious tented suites offering sweeping desert vistas.
Overlooking the seemingly endless gravel plains, each unit is elevated on a wooden deck, open to the elements on three sides to optimise the views. Totally fitting with the environment, the interiors favour a simple, stripped-back style, with roll-up canvas, four-poster beds draped with mosquito nets, crisp white linens, and wood floors decorated with large sisal rugs. Furnishings include bedside tables with reading lights, a dressing table, and an indoor seating area. Outside, the bathrooms are a few steps from the main bedroom area, and each features a flush toilet, twin basins, and a shower. The viewing decks provide a great relaxation spot for gazing out at the reserve from one of the comfortable loungers and observing any passing wildlife. Ideal for the hotter hours between activities, suites 2 and 3, as well as 4 and 5, share a plunge pool, while suite 1 has its own private plunge pool.
