Situated 45 kilometres south of the Wolwedans Dunes Lodge, and hugged by massive granite rocks, is Boulders Camp, the latest and undoubtedly most exclusive camp of the Wolwedans group. Guests book in at the farmhouse / reception and the camp is reached by a scenic 4WD transfer, which takes around 2 hours. This is a wonderful place to relax in luxury and enjoy the surrounding landscape.

The main tent has a comfortable lounge area, including a small library. There are outside seating areas, almost as comfortable as those inside. The dining room has a sociable, communal dining table, and if the weather permits, there is an outside dining area. Early morning fare is taken on the breakfast deck, and there is an open fire place for those cold winter nights. There is a resident chef, with waiter service. Close by is a well-chosen sundowner spot, overlooking the vast beauty of the NamibRand Reserve. Power is supplied by solar energy.

There are only 4 rooms, sleeping a maximum of eight guests here. Each spacious en-suite tent has a decorative four-poster bed, with fitted mosquito net, and a small dressing table. There is even an amazing view from the bathroom or guests can just lie back on the verandah and enjoy the environment.

Boulders Camp is the perfect location to explore the deep south of the NamibRand Nature Reserve. Guided scenic drives, and two to three hour walking safaris, can be organized here. Guests will be following in the footsteps of the San Bushmen in their ancient hunting grounds, accompanied by the Lodge's experienced guides, who will introduce them to the desert's habitat and diverse fauna and flora at the same time.

The maintenance and sustainability of the Reserve is paid for by every visitor's fixed daily park fee. That payment is channeled directly into the conservation of the NamibRand Nature Reserve. But special projects require additional funding and to help fund these projects, the Reserve has established the NamibRand Conservation Foundation. An independent organization, it raises funds through initiatives, such as the Adopt-a-Fairy-Circle Project.

A recent and very welcome addition to Wolwedans is the newly created Desert Academy. Their students will be given hands-on experience in all departments including laundry, kitchen, housekeeping, guiding, administration, maintenance and front of house skills.

Visitors to the Boulders Camp please note that they will have to go to the reception for hot-air ballooning and scenic flights. The minimum stay is 2 nights.

Parents with young children (pre-school age) are very welcome to stay, at Boulders Camp, if it is taken exclusively.

Directions:

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 six 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.

Coming from the North

From Windhoek you travel South via Rehoboth, Kobos, Klein Aub, Rietoog and Buellspoort (B 1, C 24, 47, D 1206) onto the D 854. Where you intercept the D 36 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 (was D826)*. You stay on the C 27 (was D826) heading South until you reach the first NamibRand signboard. Carry on straight and remain on this road for approx. 45 km until you will find the Wolwedans gate on the right hand side. 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!

Coming from Windhoek you can alternatively choose the scenic routes via Gamsberg Pass, Spreetshoogte Pass or Remhoogte Pass all ending at Solitaire. From Solitaire you head South via D 36 and 845 to C 27 (was D826).

From Swakopmund or Walvis Bay you will travel on C 14 and D 36 via Solitaire to the D 845 and C 27 (was D826). Coming from Sesriem, head South on the D 826 until you reach the Wolwedans gate. Note not to enter the D 845 by driving straight on but turn right to continue on C 27 (was D826).

Coming from the south

No matter where you come from, to the west of Maltahöhe the D 827 meets the C 27 (was D826). From this point continue North on the C 27 (was D826) past the BP filling station for approx. 30-km's where you will find the Wolwedans gate on the left hand side.
