Namib desert retreat with a private gate to Sossusvlei.
Little Kulala is a small, luxurious camp in the private Kulala Wilderness Reserve, which borders the Namib-Naukluft National Park. Its eleven suites each have a private plunge pool, an outdoor shower and a rooftop terrace with a skybed for sleeping under the stars.
The reserve has its own gate into the park, so you reach Sossusvlei and Deadvlei well ahead of the crowds from the public entrance, and the lodge runs entirely on solar power.
Your suite's private pool is the place for lazy afternoons, and the rooftop is made for private sundowners and suppers. A roll-out bed on the shaded deck is perfect for a siesta, or for a whole night under the stars.
What a day here can hold. We plan the activities around your stay and the rest of your route.
Walk through Sesriem Canyon, a narrow gorge cut by the Tsauchab River over millions of years.
Ride across the reserve on an electric fatbike, taking in the wide desert landscapes.
After dark the Namib shows another side, including scorpions that glow under UV light.
Learn about the stars and planets under one of the clearest night skies on earth.
Look for oryx, springbok and the smaller desert creatures on drives across the reserve.
Visit the great dunes and the white clay pan of Deadvlei, entering through the reserve's private gate.
Little Kulala sits under one of the darkest skies on earth. The rooftop skybeds let you fall asleep beneath the Milky Way, and on clear nights the stars reach right down to the horizon.
Little Kulala runs entirely on solar power, and its low, modern lines blend into the desert. The lodge is part of the Kulala Wilderness Reserve, former farmland that has been restored to its natural state, bringing wildlife and plant life back to the area.
