Little Kulala is a luxurious desert retreat situated in the private 37,000 hectare Kulala Wilderness Reserve - the gateway to Namibia's Dune Sea with its towering dunes and clear starry skies. The camp takes its design inspiration from its surroundings, notably from the magnificent Dead Vlei in the middle of Sossusvlei.
The lodge features an elegant main guest area which includes a library, wine cellar, craft boutique, lounge and dining areas. There is also a central shaded swimming pool. A waterhole in front of the main lodge building provides the opportunity to see gemsbok (oryx), springbok, bat-eared fox, aardwolf, ostrich and jackals.
Activities at Little Kulala include morning guided drives to the spectacular towering dunes of Sossusvlei, through a private gate into the reserve. Guided drives and walks are also offered on the private Kulala Wilderness Reserve with incredible views, desert-adapted wildlife and plants, and the sunset/sundowner excusion is always very popular! Quad-biking and electric fat biking can also be arranged as can a hot air balloon trip, which offers a truly unique experience to soar silently above the magnificent sand dunes and desert, with a champagne breakfast being served at your landing site.
The Namib is known for its clear night skies, and with no light pollution this is the ideal spot from which to learn about the incredible formations of the stars and planets. The guides are also known to dabble in astronomy and will guide you through the constellations.
Accommodation consists of 11 climate-controlled, thatched 'kulalas' (the word means 'to sleep') which merge impeccably into the timeless desert landscape. Each kulala has exquisite fittings and fixtures, plus a private deck with plunge pool. The en-suite bathroom has both indoor and outdoor showers.
A staircase leading to the flat rooftop above the bathroom provides the ideal setting for star-gazing, and sleep-outs on the bottom deck of each accommodation complete the experience.
