The Dunes Lodge is perched on top of a dunes plateau some eight kilometers north of the Dune Camp and overlooks panoramic vistas in all directions, capturing the desert in a most memorable way. The building style is a combination of wooden structures, large canvas blinds and windows that open up to the desert beyond. The lodge reflects the ambiance of a tented camp, but provides the comfort and protection of a permanent building.
A special attraction of the lodge is the 'Mountain View Suite'; providing living space in abundance, the Suite is ideally suited for those who want to stay over for several days, seeking private seclusion in total comfort and style.

The NamibRand Nature Reserve is situated about 400 km south-west of Windhoek close to Sossusvlei and can be reached with any car. The driving time from Windhoek, Swakopmund, Lüderitz and Keetmanshoop is approx. five to eight hours (traveling at leisure). We recommend a two to three night stay at the Wolwedans portfolio of camps, arriving for lunch or at least in the early afternoon to join the afternoon scenic drive. Should you miss this drive, you will still go on a day-tour the next morning. However, please plan to arrive at least two hours before sunset. From Windhoek you travel South via Rehoboth (tarred road) and proceed on gravel road via Kobos, Klein Aub, Rietoog and Buellspoort (B 1, C 24, D 1206) onto the D 854. Where you intercept the C 19 turn left and after some 5-km's turn right onto the D 845. Travel some 16-km's and turn left onto the C 27. You stay on the C 27 heading South, entering the NambiRand NatureReserve, until you find the Wolwedans gate on the right hand side after approximately 38 km. Follow the signs to the Wolwedans farmhouse/reception, which is another 20 km's from the gate. From here you will be transferred to the Wolwedans Dune Camp or Wolwedans Dune Lodge. Please do note leave the main road!
