The huge Namibrand private nature reserve is a stunningly beautiful desert area, more subtle and varied than the stark landscapes of Sossusvlei.

The area is renowned for its excellent range of lodges, all of which offer very high quality desert safari by vehicle and on foot, as well as some of the world's best ballooning out of nearby Camp Mwishu.

Of the Wolwedans collection, Dune Lodge is the luxurious flagship, whilst Dune Camp and Boulders Camp are both smaller and rather more outdoorsy..

Further south Tok Tokkie Trail is an excellent two night guided trek through the vegetated dunes of the Namib Desert.
