NamibRand Nature Reserve
The name Wolwedans means "where the wolves dance," and the broad expanse

area of the NamibRand Nature Reserve; the most deluxe lodge in the collection
is the Wolwedans Private Camp, an intimate property that allows only four
guests at a time. All of the Wolwedans properties are designed to immerse
visitors in the beauty and quiet of the Namibian landscape, allowing people
the time and space necessary to observe and absorb the spectacular natural
environment. As such, it is more suited to people who will be spending a
