About Wolwedans Desert Lodge
Previously known as Wolwedans Dunes Lodge, Desert Lodge is positioned in one of the most enviable locations that the NamibRand has to offer, Desert Lodge has a stunning outlook. Think vast orange dunes, mountains, rolling skies and, well, emptiness…. This magnificent vista is at the heart of the lodge, and all the rooms and guest areas are perfectly positioned to make the most of the impressive surroundings.
The lodge reflects the ambience of a tented camp but provides the comfort and protection of a permanent building. From the spacious main areas to the tented rooms, there are plenty of spaces to connect with fellow guests, enjoy some quiet time, or to simply relax and sink into the ‘Wolwedans Way.’

Accommodation Options
Tent
All tented rooms are open to the beautiful desert vistas and have been built to maximise the views from all corners of the room. Each has a private verandah, connecting you to the swathes of untouched sand beyond. In fact, we highly recommend sleeping with your canvas blinds open to feel the soft evening breeze and marvel at the vast star-studded sky.
There are 7 Tented chalets, linked by a walkway and set atop a dune plateau, featuring elevated decks and sleeping two adults in a king-size bed. Each en-suite bathroom includes a double vanity, shower, and toilet.
Family Unit
3 tented chalets with an elevated deck on top of a dune plateau, each sleeps 2 adults and 2 children. The en-suite bathroom offers a double vanity, shower & toilet facilities.
