The NamibRand Nature Reserve is one of southern Africa's largest private reserves. A large number of sheep farms were combined with the aim of creating an unfenced nature reserve where animals can roam freely. The reserve covers 200,000 hectares bordering on the Namib Naukluft Park to the west, and the Nubib Mountains in the east.

The landscape is extremely beautiful, featuring grassy planes dotted with red sand dunes and the rugged mountains of the Namib Rand in the background - this is the pefect place for relaxing scenic drives. The Wolwedans guides will be happy to show you the best spots in the area.

Game species found in the Reserve include gemsbok, mountain and plains zebra, springbok, oryx, ostrich, red hartebeest, bat-eared fox, spotted hyena, cape fox and african wildcat. The rocky areas are inhibited by kudu, klipspringer, baboon and leopard. Don't expect to find them in great numbers, but they can be found in the area.

The lodge offers trips in 4x4 vehicles to the most beautiful parts of the region. Guided walking safaris. The guides are more than welcome to explain all they know about the Namib Desert. Wolwedans also offers horse riding all year round apart from the hot summer months December to March. On offer are morning or afternoon rides (approx 1,5 hrs), sundowner rides (2 hrs) or full day rides.
