Welcome to Wolwedans

Wolwedans is more than a collection of camps – it’s ethos lies in setting an example in responsible tourism, the empowerment of its employees and its commitment to the conservation of NamibRand Nature Reserve…

 

Wolwedans nestles into the dunes and is set against a backdrop of diverse and breathtaking desert scenery. Located in the heart of NamibRand Nature Reserve, our portfolio of timeless and elegant safari camps provides the perfect base from which to explore vast stretches of awe-inspiring and undisturbed nature and embark on exciting and interpretative wildlife encounters. 

 

We invite you to see Wolwedans for what it really is: It is a place to arrive, to be, to learn and unwind, whilst being looked after by a friendly and involved local team. We are not a hotel, but strive to set an example in eco-friendly, sustainable tourism. All camps at Wolwedans are designed to minimize environmental impact, exploring innovative building techniques and utilizing sustainable technologies. 

 

Biodiversity is life. We are privileged to operate in pristine natural environments, striving to safeguard the integrity of the Pro-Namib ecosystem as part of our global ecosphere and ensure that its health and productivity is managed in an ecologically sustainable manner.

 

People matter. We have the development of Namibia and the wellbeing of its people at heart. At Wolwedans we prioritize human resource development, social upliftment, sharing economic opportunities and the encouragement of others to build a better future. The Wolwedans Foundation promotes this goal through offering vocational training via the Desert Academy (DA) and The Namibian Institute of Culinary Education (nice)

 

Let Wolwedans weave its magic around you and you will leave with memories that last a lifetime…. plus a deepened appreciation for the natural world we live in. 

 

 

Why Wolwedans

Since its inception 15 years ago, Wolwedans has been guided by an approach where people, nature and business were all equally important.

Right from the start the commercial aim of the business has been to ensure the NamibRand Nature Reserve’s financial viability, assuring the conservation of the Pro-Namib for future generations.

This approach was captured in Wolwedans’ earliest mission statement: “We are committed to sustainable growth by carefully balancing quality leadership, economic progress, social responsibility and care for our environment” (Dec 1998). read more
