Experiences

• Scenic drives

  Discover how the flora and fauna in this often habitat thrive on a fascinating scenic drive with your safari guide. They will point out oryx, gazelles, hartebeests, Hartmann and Burchell’s zebras, giraffes and springboks. Look out for predators like spotted and brown hyena, leopards, aarwolfs and bat eared foxes. The region is also great for keen birders, with some 170 bird species to be found, including endemic dune larks.

• Hot air ballooning

  There are few experiences quite as magical as floating silently over the ancient desert in a hot air balloon. The seasonal activity allows you to soar above the NamibRand Nature Reserve, getting a unique view of the dune belts and seemingly endless plains. Enjoy a Champagne breakfast at your landing spot.

• Bushman walks

  You’ll head out on an educational walk through the dunes with a Khoisan guide. They will tell you all about the ancient navigating and tracking techniques of Africa’s original hunter-gatherers. It’s also a great way to learn more about the micro flora and fauna of the region.

• Village tours

  Spend some time in the central Wolwedans hub where you’ll have the chance to meet some of the welders, carpenters and electricians who work tirelessly behind the scenes to keep all the properties up and running. You’ll also learn about the water management system and the photovoltaic power installation. This is also where a lot of the fresh produce used in camp is grown.

• Horse riding

  Experiencing the red dunes on horseback makes for a memorable activity. Your first ride is included in your stay, but once the bug bites you can book further rides suited to your ability and interests.

• E biking

  E bikes can reach exhilarating speeds of up to 30km an hour as you race along dusty desert roads and up and down the dunes.

• Wellness

  Take the relaxation to deeper level with a Swedish massage, Indian head and foot massages or various marula oil treatments.
