Situated among dramatic dune vistas in Namibrand Reserve, Wolwedans Desert Lodge offers a luxury full-board hideaway in the stark wilderness of Namibia. Designed with eco-consciousness at its heart, the lodge combines refined comfort with panoramic views of desert landscapes, creating a serene and immersive retreat.
Wolwedans Desert Lodge offers a blend of tented rooms and luxury suites, each with a spacious verandah opening to sweeping views of the desert. The main lodge includes multiple lounges, a tranquil tea deck, a library, and a wine cellar, offering spaces for relaxation and socialising. Dining is a highlight, featuring a farm-to-table approach with locally sourced, organic ingredients.
The lodge is within the Namibrand Reserve, one of Namibia’s largest private reserves, known for its vast landscapes of red dunes, rolling plains and mountain backdrops. The pristine desert environment provides guests with unparalleled views and a deep sense of solitude. Sunsets and star-studded nights amplify the lodge’s tranquil, untouched setting.
Guests can explore the Namibrand Reserve through guided nature walks, scenic drive and stargazing under Namibia’s clear skies. Activities include e-biking through the desert trails, village visits to learn about local culture, and hot-air balloon rides offering aerial views of the dunes. For those seeking deeper relaxation, wellness treatments are available on-site.

Highly recommend this accommodation, not only were the staff friendly and thoughtful, they went out of their way to ensure we had the best time. From the fun activities, to exceptional food, to the local village tour where you get to learn how sustainable they are as a business, everything was amazing.
