Wolwedans Dunes Lodge Gallery
We stopped off at Wolvedans Dunes Lodge and did a quick site inspection/ walk around. Dunes Lodge was in the process of having a refurb, so all we were able to see was the layout, the views and the central guest areas. We were informed that the tented suites are very similar to those that are at Dunes Camp.
All in all, the only real difference that we picked up was the views and the fact the Dunes Lodge is a bit bigger, everything else seemed to be of the same high standards as Dunes Camp. To be absolutely honest with you, I would gladly stay at either one. Oh, yes, before I forget; Dines Lodge has a private villa that is set off to the side for larger families/ groups that want that bit more privacy (private guide, private dining, etc, etc).
What Dunes Lodge does have though over Dunes Camp is a swimming pool and wine cellar.
Can we recommend a stay at Wolvedans Dunes Lodge in the heart of the remote Namib Desert? Oh, yes we can, without question, a fantastic option.

All photographs have been taken by us here at Uyaphi.com with the sole purpose of showcasing the lodge and reserve from our point of view.

The Road To Sossusvlei
Once one navigates the main Sesriem entrance gates and enters the national park a pleasant surprise awaits, a tarred road (yes, a tarred road) that extends all the way through to the main parking area near Sossusvlei.
Cape Town To The Kunene River
In November and December of last year (2019), we loaded our Jeep and headed north out of Cape Town, destination Namibia and the Kunene River, her border with Angola.
A couple of thousand kilometres later, we returned, this time, more in love with country than ever.
Windhoek Oktoberfest 2021
On the 25th and 26th of October, the Sports Klub Windhoek will host the 55th edition of the Oktoberfest. Over 5000 people are expected to attend (compared to 1000 in 2010).
Adding a certain local flavour will be the Namibian band Famaz Attak, and there will be long-established activities and games like archery and tree trunk sawing.
Top 5 restaurants in Windhoek
Continuing our series of dining in Africa, we look at Windhoek. More and more visitors are becoming aware of the unique attractions that this country as a safari destination has to offer.
Nowhere is too far to travel in this small (and clean) city of 330,000 but be warned when you go out to eat, vegetarianism is not common!
Best Places To Go In Namibia
The Uyaphi team has compiled a list of the "Best Places to go" which most safari itineraries would include. A different destination from most African safari destinations.
Instead of lush green forests or open savannas, the primary attraction being vast, open deserts interspersed with canyons, mountain ranges, and oasis.
Living With The Himba
In May 2012, we arranged for Uyaphi.Com client Ken Vine from Devon in England to stay with the traditional Himba people in two remote villages in the middle of Kaokoland.
He lived, slept, ate, conversed and photographed these Himba villagers.
