Namibia Luxury Safari lodge Kulala

Kulala Wilderness Camp is a ten-roomed camp situated in the heart of Namibia's Namib Desert on a 21,000-acre private reserve near Sossusvlei. The camp is built at the foot of a rock escarpment, facing west with great sunset views in the mountainous eco-system of this area. The camp comprises of 10 Meru style tents on elevated wooden decks with stone en-suite bathrooms. A staircase leading up to the flat rooftop above the bathroom provides the ideal setting to sleep under the stars on a provided bedroll. The main area is elevated under thatch and offers a homely and intimate atmosphere with a sparkling swimming pool, dining room and bar area. The interiors are simple yet comfortable, with 220v lighting and electricity. Traditional 3 course meals are served at dinner. On the edge of the oldest desert in the world, wildlife here is sparse but fascinating. Sightings of animals such as Springbok, Gemsbok, Ostrich, Bat-eared Fox and Aardwolf are exciting in these rugged conditions. Activities include early morning guided game drives to the Sossusvlei dunes, nature drives and walks on our private reserve, day trips into the Namib-Naukluft mountains and early morning ballooning (at an extra cost).
