The NamibRand Reserve, Namibia
Dune Camp
Six Tents on a 250-ft Dune. Sleep-Outs at their Best.
Dune Camp has a more grounded style that channels all the romance of the pioneer era with its six platformed tents that make it a true ‘sleep-out’ experience.
The camp is located on top of a 250-foot sand dune lending it spectacular views and a pristine setting. Each tent sits on a wooden platform with its own private bathroom and a deck that overlooks the expansive desert and the star-littered night sky. Canvas windows can be rolled up for unrestricted views and desert breeze for an authentic safari feel.
Dune camp remains a favourite for many who visit the reserve. The main tent has a cosy lounge, a small bar, dining area and open-plan kitchen that brings an informal, adventurous and friendly feel for all guests here.
Dinner is an intimate affair with the chef laying out the tasty fare on a long wooden dining table below candlelit chandeliers.

Places to combine Dune Camp with
Etosha National Park
Encounter by Ongava is an intimate safari camp set within Ongava Game Reserve, on the southern edge of Etosha National Park. You’ll be surrounded by Mopane woodland and wildlife moving freely through the landscape.
There are eight spacious walk-in tents: seven standard tents and one paired tent that works well for families or small groups. Each tent has an en-suite bathroom with an outdoor shower and a private deck.
You can head out on game drives across the 30,000-hectare Ongava Game Reserve. The area is known for its rhino population, as well as lion, zebra and antelope, including the endemic black-faced impala. We especially recommend private guided nature walks, where you can slow down, appreciate the small details and explore with minimal impact. There may be the chance to approach white rhino on foot, as well as spend time bird watching.
For a wider safari experience, take a guided excursion into nearby Etosha National Park, Namibia’s prime savannah wilderness area. At the Ongava Visitor Centre, learn about the region’s geology, wildlife, plants and ecology.
Back at camp, slow down by the pool, settle into the library or gather at the bar as evening falls. The day softens into drinks, quiet conversation and the sounds of the reserve.
