Namibia

Wolwedans Boulders Safari Camp

PLAN MY TRIP

Boulders Camp, in the NamibRand Nature Reserve in Southern Namibia, is the latest addition to the Wolwedans Collection and is certainly the most exclusive.

A small and intimate camp, it sleeps up to eight guests in four luxury tents. Each spacious en-suite tent has a small dressing table and a decorative four-poster bed dressed in crisp white linens with warm down duvets for the cold nights and a protective draping of mosquito nets. Even the bathrooms with their solar-heated showers have amazing views of the desert. Of course, the tent’s own private wooden deck is the perfect spot to relax and take in the unspoiled views. As of 2018, the Boulders must be booked as a three-night package with fixed arrival dates every third day of the year.

The boulders for which the camp is named are the massive granite rocks that hug the camp. Boulders Camp is reached by 4×4 vehicle and is 45km from the Wolwedans Dunes Lodge. Covering an area of some 494,210 acres close to Sossusvlei, the NamibRand Reserve is bordered by the Naukluft Park in the west and the impressive Nubib Mountain range in the east. The special attraction of the reserve is the diversity of desert landscapes. Virtually all facets of the Namib are represented here. Mountains plunging down into endless grassy plains are interspersed by red vegetated dunes create a living tapestry of ever-changing colors and shapes that provide a visual feast for artists and photographers.

The southern regions of the NamibRand Nature Reserve are easily accessible from Boulders Camp, and experienced guides conduct on scenic game drives and walking safaris along the ancient routes in the hunting grounds of the San Bushmen. This opens a window into the world of uniquely adapted desert flora and fauna. Game species found in the reserve include gemsbok, mountain and plains zebra, springbok, red hartebeest, bat-eared fox, spotted hyena, Cape fox, and African wildcats. The rockier areas are inhabited by kudu, klipspringer, baboon, and leopard, while the dunes are inhabited by a rich and diverse micro-fauna.

The camp’s central area features a tented dining room, cozy lounge, breakfast deck, pool, and open fireplace. Sundowners can be enjoyed from the top of a mountainous rock plateau close to camp. A resident chef ensures that the Wolwedans reputation for some of the best food in the country is not in danger. The dinner locations vary from night to night, but the excellent quality of the accompanying wines from South Africa remains the same. For those in need of some extra pampering, the resident massage therapist specializing in Swedish massage, Marula Oil massage, Indian head massage, and foot massage for a decadent and relaxing experience.
