Wolwedans Desert Lodge

The main areas have all the structure of a lodge – wood, canvas and permanent buildings – but really, the ambiance is far more reflective of a traditional safari camp. There are several partially separated decks, all adorned with comfy armchairs and one of the most spectacular views in the reserve and. The lodge also boasts its own organic garden (produce goes straight into the open-plan kitchen) and a smart wine cellar.

There are ten spacious, airy wood and canvas chalets, including one family suite comprising two bedrooms that share a bathroom and veranda. They're built on raised, split-level decks with cushioned reclining chairs and cylindrical plunge pools known as ‘Wolwedans Chillers.’ The bedrooms have solid wooden four-poster beds draped with mosquito nets, a desk, a table, a luggage rack and several chairs - and all-round stunning vistas. Each chalet has an ensuite bathroom with a solar powered shower, twin basins and a variety of complimentary amenities.
