The land changes colour magically by the hour as the scenery shifts in shadows. Imagine one’s own villa, fully staffed providing exclusive luxury from which to experience the magnificent natural spectacle of the desert.

One of Southern Africa’s largest private conservation areas the Namibrand reserve features every kind of desert landscape from mountains and golden grasslands to the dunes ranging in colour from yellow-gold to brick red, in the waning light. Here, the land changes colour magically, by the hour and the scenery shifts in shadows, cast by the towering dunes. Game wanders in and out, silhouettes in the distance, emphasising the magical romance and beauty of the landscape.

Set amidst this, the exquisite Private Camp offers an incredible level of comfort in an otherwise inhospitable environment. One’s own luxurious villa for four guests to marvel at the wonderful scenery, relax, unwind and make safaris into the wilderness. The Camp staff are incredibly hospitable from one’s driver and guide to the house staff and exceptional chef. At Wolwedans, everyone is integrated in management decisions, many staff members hold shares in the company and they have a nationally recognised cookery college in Windhoek.

There is a warmth and personal service from all which can only originate in the desert peoples’ traditions of hospitality; for outside one’s luxurious villa, just over the edge of the wooden verandah, lies the awesome grandeur and breathtaking beauty of a nature quite capable of demonstrating man’s frailty, should the lesson be wanting.

Wonderful ‘Out of Africa’ decoration is interpreted in a modern way. Worn books in the library and an old brass telescope which belonged to the owner, the sundowner deck, open fireplace and wine cellar, there is a homely feel and a sense that everything ‘belongs’.

Experienced guides introduce guests to the diverse fauna and flora of the Namibrand - on foot, by car, plane or hot-air balloon. Picnics in the wild, sundowners on the dunes and dinners by candlelight after a full day’s safari or reading a book on the verandah, admiring the changing view; the choice is yours. In this land of outstretching blue skies and endless plains, one can find tranquility and peace of mind and the impression on one’s imagination will last forever.
