Description
Wolwedans Boulders Camp is situated 45kms south of the other Wolwedans camps, and is set in the lee of a collection of massive granite rocks. There are tremendous views from this stunning location right across the NamibRand Nature Reserve.
The camp accommodates a maximum of eight guests in four spacious en-suite tents, each of which is beautifully furnished. The main area houses a dining room, lounge tent, breakfast deck and open fireplace. There is a wonderful sundowner spot close by with stunning views across this beautiful reserve.
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.
Guided scenic drives and two to three hour walking safaris treading along the ancient hunting grounds of the bushmen are all on offer to guests. A special attraction at NamibRand is hot-air ballooning. If a plane is available, scenic flights to the Diamond Coast and Sossusvlei are undertaken during the late afternoon. For hiking enthusiasts a walking trail can be arranged.
Accommodation
Accommodation is in just 4 spacious tents which are all en-suite and are on raised decks nestled against the rocks and overlooking the plains.
Childcare
Children under 6 are not accepted and parents with children are requested to be fully responsible for them at all times.
Facilities
The main area has a dining and lounge tent, a breakfast deck and open fire place. Close by is an awesome sundowner spot overlooking the vast beauty of the reserve.
Activities
Activities include morning, afternoon and sundowner game drives, in specially adapted 4 x 4 Land Rovers. Walking safaris also with expert guides are on offer and for an extra cost guests can request a balloon flight or a scenic flight in a small aircraft.
When to travel
If you're visiting Sossusvlei, the best thing to do is avoid the summer, which is extremely hot. Therefore, the best time to visit southern Namibia is in winter (May and September) but bear in mind that the desert regions can be bitterly cold at this time of year. The climate of the southern coast is hospitable from February to May, but quite cool and misty year-round, and particularly windy in August.
