Wolwedans Desert Lodge | NamibRand Nature Reserve

1 May 2020 - 3 May 2020

Wolwedans Dunes Lodge offers panoramic vistas of the NamibRand Nature Reserve from its position on top of a massive dune plateau. The lodge consists of wooden structures with canvas blinds which can be opened to the desert and its memorable vistas. Think the ambience of an authentic tented camp, but with the comfort of a permanent structure. Your spacious chalet has an en-suite bathroom and expansive private veranda. The main complex consists of two comfortable lounges with a tea deck, sundowner decks, a fireplace, a library, wine cellar and two dining rooms. All communal areas open out onto decks with superb desert views.

INSIDER’S TIP: Wolwedans means ‘dance with wolves’ named after one of the original thirteen farms that now form the NamibRand Nature Reserve.

Wilderness Hoanib Skeleton Coast Camp | Hoanib River

3 May 2020 - 6 May 2020

The name “Skeleton Coast” conjures up romantic images of desolate beauty, and proudly remote Wilderness Hoanib Skeleton Coast Camp in the Kaokoveld does not disappoint. The dry bed of the Hoanib River supports a thin green ribbon of vegetation and the wild beaches of the Atlantic coast are within reach, with their noisy seal colonies and eerily quiet shipwreck remnants.

Eight large en-suite tents (including one family unit) and the main area provide shady viewpoints, while nature drives into the surrounding area reveal a wealth of desert-adapted wildlife. Desert-adapted lion and brown hyena may also be glimpsed in this vast but far from lifeless landscape.

INSIDER'S TIP: On a stay of three nights or more, a coastal excursion to The Skeleton Coast is included. Usually involving a drive down to the coast and a flight back to camp, to see such a diverse area both on the ground and in the air.

Wilderness Serra Cafema | Hartmann Valley

6 May 2020 - 8 May 2020

Set amongst shady trees on the banks of the Kunene River, Wilderness Serra Cafema is one of the most remote camps in southern Africa, its Portuguese name originating from the mountains that dominate the northern skyline. Guests fall asleep to the sound of rushing water, while by day they explore one of the driest deserts in the world.

Activities here are varied, including boating (water levels permitting), walking, viewing breathtaking landscapes, as well as carefully guided quad-bike excursions that tread lightly on the dunes. In this isolated region, the Himba people continue their nomadic, traditional way of life and when in the area, guests have the opportunity to meet them and learn about their lifestyle and traditions.

INSIDER'S TIP: Most authentic Himba cultural experience in all of Namibia!
