Kulala Desert Lodge

The family-friendly Kulala Desert Lodge is located within the arid Namib Desert on the 27 000 hectare private Kulala Wilderness Reserve. Kulala Desert Lodge nestles below the well-known Sossusvlei Dunes and has exclusive access through a private gate to the Sossusvlei.

The lodge boasts twenty-three thatched and canvas Kulalas, eighteen of which are twin bedded and three are doubles. Each unit has an en-suite bathroom with shower, mosquito netting, overhead fan, and a deck on the flat rooftop for sleep-outs under the stars.

Two of the Kulalas are ideal for families with two separate bedrooms, en-suite bathrooms, separate entrances, and a connecting deck.

The lodge facilities include a lounge, bar, dining area, plunge pool, and wrap-around veranda overlooking the riverbed.

The 37 000-hectare private Kulala Nature Reserve boasts an array of wildlife including gemsbok (oryx), springbok, ostrich, spotted hyena, brown hyena and an abundance of birdlife. Smaller creatures such as bat-eared fox, black-backed jackal, porcupine, Cape fox and aardwolf can also be seen. The world-famous Sossusvlei is not just an area but also the name given to a large dry salt pan which is surrounded by gigantic sand dunes. The Dead Vlei which once flowed with water is now skeletons of trees that once flourished. The Sesriem Canyon is three kilometers long and offers breathtaking views from the top of the canyon.

Activities offered at the camp lodge include nature drives, visits to Sesriem Canyon, Dead Vlei and Sossusvlei, hot air balloon rides, fat bikes, nature walks, star beds, and horseriding safaris. 

Kulala Desert Lodge offers a rewarding safari experience that is perfect for solo explorers, couples and families alike.
