"Wolwedans Dune Camp review"

3 nights Arrived 25 Mar 2022

"Having been in Sossusvlei twice before, we were curious about the adjacent NamibRand Nature Reserve, and we were really taken in by the stunning vistas this area of the world provides.

It’s somehow similar and yet distinct from the Namib-Naukluft National Park. For one thing, there appears to be more wildlife: Besides oryx and springboks, we also saw giraffes, zebras and red hartebeest here. I would like to point out that it was here that we had the very best oryx sightings of the entire trip. And I would almost say that the landscape here is more varied than that of the neighboring National Park.

We would be very happy to return to this camp for another visit." See all these reviews: 19n in Namibia; 15n in Botswana

"Wolwedans dune Camp."

3 nights Arrived 5 Nov 2019

"We both had a lovely stay at Wolwedans. The setting is gorgeous, food and service top rate. stayed 3 nights we would have happily stayed for longer.

This is not a wall to wall animal setting and we knew that. Go there for the landscape which never ceases to impress." See all these reviews: 6n in Namibia

"Wolwedans Dune Camp review"

2 nights Arrived 18 Sep 2019

"This is a real favourite and i was so proud to take my partner to such an amazing location.

The quality and service at the Dune Camp has if anything got better over the years. The wildlife opportunities have been reduced by the ravages of the drought but the micro fauna is still as stunning as ever and those landscapes still take your breath away. The staff were wonderful." See all these reviews: 19n in Namibia

"Wolwedans Dune Camp review"

1 night Arrived 22 May 2019

"We slightly preferred the Dunes Camp to the Dunes Lodge (they have a particularly good all woman team), but both are excellent.

The setting is amazing, and the food is excellent (including vegetarian)." See all these reviews: 12n in Namibia

"Wolwedans"

2 nights Arrived 6 Sep 2018

"A lovely experience and a much needed 'time out' after all our travelling so far. The 'Angels' were wonderful.

Our guide was less so. He wasn't all that keen on the sundowner drive and told us there were no animals to see on the reserve, just scenery. As a guide, he maybe needs to look for another job!

After being on the Tok Tokkie walk, we didn't feel that there was much going re activities" See all these reviews: 26n in Namibia; 7n in Botswana

"Superb Location - Wolwedans Dune Camp"

2 nights Arrived 19 Jul 2018

"A stunning setting. The staff here were welcoming, friendly and although attentive, did so almost invisibly. There are lots of small lovely touches here. One change in the place seems to be that the dinner menu is now five courses so lots of washing up for the staff!

We enjoyed the shared dining experience.

This place is somewhere you could stay for an extra day (on top of 2) and just drink in the views in the hope that they will stay with you forever. The many many photos we took will just have to do." See all these reviews: 17n in Namibia; 4n in Botswana; 3n in Zambia; 1n in South Africa

"Great scenic camp in the dunes"

2 nights Arrived 19 Jul 2018

"Very scenic location in the dunes. Small lodge with great "tents" and service. Interesting guided excursions. Walk through sand from rooms to main area not so good, but you can live with it!" See all these reviews: 17n in Namibia; 4n in Botswana; 3n in Zambia; 1n in South Africa

"A very special place to stay"

3 nights Arrived 8 May 2018

"Location of the Dune Camp, its accommodation and meals were truly memorable. An expensive place to stay for 3 nights but well worth it!

A special mention needs to be made of Ringo, a trainee, who took such good care of us during all of our meals here. His standard of service and personality added greatly to the enjoyment of our stay.

Additionally, we had a great guide, Jason, who could not do enough for us." See all these reviews: 16n in Namibia
