Kulala Wilderness Camp

Kulala Wilderness Camp is situated in the heart of the Namib Desert on the private Kulala Wilderness Reserve. A wonderful location with panoramic views of the valley and mountains beyond.

Kulala Wilderness Camp consists of 10 comfortable “kulalas” with en suite bathrooms and verandas built on elevated platforms for the spectacular view.

The main area is raised to take advantage of the endless vista and comprises a lounge and bar under thatch.  Meals are taken on the deck and guests can cool off at the sparkling pool.

Activities include excursions to the world-famous Sossusvlei – an enormous clay pan, flanked by the famous red sand dunes that stand out starkly against the blue sky. These dunes – the most well-known being Big Daddy or Dune 45 (the top of which you can walk to) – have developed over millions of years with the wind continuously refashioning the contours of this red sand sea.

Guided walks and scenic nature drives can also be arranged with guides at the lodge.  The wildlife here is fascinating in its adaptation to the harsh conditions. Sparse yet thrilling to see are springbok, gemsbok, ostrich, bat-eared fox, the rarely seen aardwolf and many small fauna.

Another option, at an extra cost, is early morning ballooning, beginning at first light.  The balloon safari 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.

One of our favourite lodges within this whole region of Namibia.  A great location, excellent hosting, relaxed and friendly service with easy access to the dunes.
