LITTLE KULALA
Namibia

Namibia Tented Accommodation

Situated on over 21,0000 ha of private property and bordering the Namib Naukluft Park, Little Kulala lies in the heart of the Namib on the western side of the Kulala Wilderness Reserve and offers magnificent views of the famous red dunes of Sossusvlei as well as magnificent mountainous scenery and vast open plains.

Camp Description

Eight thatched & canvas chalets or "Kulalas" (Kulala in the Namibian language "oshiwambo" means "to sleep") with en suite bathrooms are set on wooden platforms to provide maximum airflow. An option for outdoor enthusiasts, we have bedrolls for the rooftop to sleep under the stars from a private star gazing platform. It has a lounge, pub, dining area and plunge pool, with a view of the dunes.

Game Viewing

Early morning guided game drives to the spectacular dunes are through a private gate on the Tsauchab River. Game drives and walks are also offered on the private reserve with incredible views, desert game and smaller desert fauna and flora. Another option is early morning ballooning, beginning at first light, the 60 minute 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.
