Guided Safaris at Wolwedans Desert Lodge

Wolwedans Desert Lodge offers its visitor's breathtaking scenic drives on 4x4 and beautiful aerial views of the NamibRand Nature Reserve on a hot-air balloon ride.

No matter where you stay at Wolwedans Desert Lodge, you will be introduced to this great theatre of nature and kindle ancient stirrings within you.

Accompanied by experienced guides, visitors are introduced to the many facets of NamibRand Nature Reserve's desert habitat with its diverse fauna and flora - on foot, by car, or from the air in a hot-air balloon during their Namibia safari.

Game Viewing

The interpretive scenic drives in open Land Rovers or the walks with resident field-guides; reveal the wonders of the desert - as do picnics in the wild, sundowners on the dunes and dinners by candlelight. The traditional programme - providing you stay for two nights - which is earnestly recommended (if possible you should stay for three) - would entail an afternoon drive on the day of arrival, followed by a full day-safari. The Wolwedans Desert Lodge also lends itself to relaxing for an afternoon - the choice is entirely yours.

Hot Air-Balloon Excursions

A special attraction to the Wolwedans Desert Lodge on your Namibia safari is the hot-air balloon riding offered here. Soaring silently over the dune belts and never-ending plains provides breathtaking 360-degree vistas as the leisurely wind carries you over an ocean of sand and waves of the mountain.

Eco-Friendly Desert Activities

Wolwedans Desert Lodge encourages guests to take a digital detox and appreciate the spectacular desert scenery. An activity called Solitaire is a zero-impact, low-carbon activity that sees guests visit the quietest places on the NamibRand Nature Reserve and creates a solitary experience – to think, observe, meditate and rejuvenate.

Other eco activities include the Wolwedans Water-Walk, which takes visitors on a guided, or self-guided walk along the water network. Learn how this complex system provides the convenience of running water in the middle of the Namid Desert.

Ride a fat e-bike, a 500W electric motor assisted bike with fat tyres, designed to explore the terrain of the red sand dunes of Namib. Fat e-bikes come with a 3-inch LCD colour display that provides interesting facts on your speed and distance.

Weddings and Special Events

The tranquil surrounding of Wolwedans is the perfect place for a romantic wedding ceremony. Because where else will you become so overwhelmed by the beauty of space and feel one with nature? Imagine yourself being blessed on top of the red dunes, bare feed, desert flowers in your hair, your dress softly waving in the wind.
