Wolwedans Dune Camp:
Positioned on the edge of a 250-metre high dune, the Dune Camp sleeps a maximum of 12 guests (16 guests in 2010) in a totally unspoilt setting. Guests stay in comfortable tents, which are pitched on wooden platforms. A spacious deck, allowing for safe sleep-outs under the stars and a private bathroom make for a rather civilized camping experience.
The main area is comprised of a lounge, dining area and an open-plan kitchen, which allows guests to chat to the chef while he prepares a scrumptious dinner. The sundowner deck with its fireplace is the central meeting point of the camp, making for a cosy and relaxed ambience. The Dune Camp provides a more down-to-earth experience. It’s rustic but has a unique atmosphere that courts the young and more adventurous traveller.
The charm of the camp lies in its tranquil, intimate atmosphere, capturing the romance of a bygone era.
Dune Camp requires a minimum stay of two nights and a day-safari with picnic lunch en-route is part of the package.
