We spent here 3 nights of our honeymoon and would absolutely recommend it. The staff is very friendly and makes you feel as if you are the only guest they have, still giving you all the privacy to enjoy the luxurious tent-rooms, the amazing views and nature. Dinner is a highlight as all the guests (max. 14) are sitting at... More

We spent a couple of nights at the Dune Camp in mid-August right after staying at the Sossus Dune lodge in Sossusvlei. We loved the Sossus Dune lodge, so the expectations were quite high for the Dune Camp. And frankly, I have been waiting for a few years to stay there. First of all, the drive from Sossusvlei to the... More

Outstanding of this place are two things: The surrounding landscape and the service and attention of the tour guides. Negative is the extreme shortage of staff and the lack ofproper organization/managment in housekeeping and service. In the evening dinner is served rather late (20:00 h) and - due to the lack of staff - it takes quite some time when... More

No need for alarm clocks the light streaming in to your room overlooking the namib is enough. Lovely welcome. Great food and actually good value considering what is incluced. Lovely communal dining atmosphere. An apres lunch and pre sundowner siesta in a hammock is higly recommend! Very attentive guides and staff. The flask of hot water in the morning was... More

Wolwedans is truely an amazing place. We stayed 2 nights at the Dune Camp and 1 more night ar the Dune Lodge. The 6 tents of the Dune Camp are brand new. The food served at the cosy restaurant was superb! We just enjoyed every second of our stay and when we return to Namibia (we will!), we will certainly... More

It was hot when we visited Wolwedans last November. It was our third visit to the Namib Rand, and that area is so incredibile beautiful…. Big skies and what a space. This was our first visit to Wolwedans, the place being on our wishlist for several years. We stayed with a couple of good friends at the Wolwedans Private Camp.... More

We stayed at the Dunes Camp for 2 nights in September and it was the highlight of our trip to Namibia. Set on a private reserve it was a magical experience where you do feel very close to nature. We left our tent open at night and were woken each morning by incredible views and the sun rising over the... More

Wolwedans fulfilled all my expectations. It was the higlight of our Namibia tour in 2004. Unfortunately we spent only 2 nights there, had we known before how exceptional the place is, we would have stayed longer, even though it's not exactly cheap. Friends who had been there before told us to stay at the camp to get the "real desert... More

First and foremost, thank you Wiseman, Vinte and Paulo. You made our Dune Camp stay, one of the most amazing trips of our life. The Camp: Not a luxury facility, but for sure a luxury and exclusive experience. The Dune Camp, it's a remote camp, that gives you the exquisite opportunity of sleeping in tents on the middle of the... More

Accommodation was wonderful, great open sided tents with bathroom and outside decks. Food and service was average which was a let down considering the price ( £400.00 per couple per night) . Found it difficult to find somebody to serve drinks at the bar area and felt as if everyone was expected not to stay up later than 9.30pm. The... More
