Boulders Camp is part of the Wolwedans Collection. Boulders Camp is situated two hours south of the other Wolwedans lodges, deep in the heart of the private NamibRand nature reserve protected by massive granite rocks.
This is certain to appeal to those looking for the ultimate desert escape, very far away from tourist crowds and busy lodges. With just four spacious rooms sited around the base of a boulder-strewn mountain, Boulders is private and exclusive.
There are no well-trodden paths here, just thousands of square kilometres of the oldest desert on the planet, and a few lucky guests. Close by is a sundowner spot overlooking the vast beauty of the reserve. Activities include guided scenic drives, or two to three-hour walking safaris treading along the ancient hunting grounds of the Bushmen or sunrise balloon flights or scenic flights.
We love Wolwedans Boulders Camp for its incredible views over the vast NamibRand Nature Reserve. Boulders are undoubtedly the most exclusive camp at Wolwedans.
As one of the founding members of the Global Ecosphere Retreats, Wolwedans has always had sustainability at its core. All four of the camps adopt a low-impact approach that prioritises balancing the “4Cs” – commerce, conservation, community and culture. This model has now become regarded as one of the most successful sustainable tourism initiatives in Africa.
Furthermore, the Wolwedans camps help ensure the continued survival of the NamibRand Nature Reserve. Since the camps’ inception, Wolwedans has been the single largest contributor, helping to conserve this unique 200,000-hectare desert reserve.
Some of the wonderful places to stay that we frequently recommended.
Cradled against ancient mountains Sossusvlei Desert Lodge overlooks awe-inspiring dunes and stony outcrops – an unspoiled wilderness of vast spaces, endless horizons and rugged mountains. The Lodge offers luxurious accommodation in 10 free-standing glass and stone villas sympathetically built to the environment and designed to capture the splendour and solitude of the desert with absolute privacy.
Desert Homestead Lodge lies in a wide grassy valley, sheltered by the Nubib, Tsaris and Naukluft mountains, and with views reaching the distant dunes of the Namib Desert in the west. It offers simple but comfortable accommodation in thatched chalets. All 26 are en suite and are decorated with white walls and dark wood riempie furniture. Each cottage has its own veranda with northern views extending to the Rotterkaum Mountains. Seven of the cottages are family suites, whilst there is also the two-bedroom Reiterhaus – perfect for families with teenage children.
Situated on the banks of the Tsauchab River, Hoodia Desert Lodge is an easy distance from the entrance to Sossusvlei and is an ideal location to visit Sesriem Canyon and the Namib Naukluft Park. This warm and inviting lodge has a relaxing feel and facilities include a main lounge, restaurant serving international and traditional cuisine, a swimming pool set in a raised deck and sculpted into natural rock and an outside terrace overlooking the Tsauchab River. There are 12 tented bungalows set in front of a beautiful mountain backdrop, each with indoor and outdoor bathrooms and views of the river or plains and mountains.
Little Kulala is situated on a large private reserve, bordering the Namib Naukluft Park, in the heart of the Namib. The camp offers magnificent views of the famous red dunes of Sossusvlei, mountainous scenery and vast open plains. Little Kulala has eight thatched and canvas chalets, each built on a wooden platform to provide maximum airflow. A popular option with outdoor enthusiasts is to sleep under the stars – mattresses are placed on private stargazing platform on top of each room.
