The picturesque Little Kulala Camp is located in the 27,000-hectare Kulala Wilderness Reserve, an untouched wilderness in the Namib, nicknamed the "living desert." You can't get any closer to the famous dunes of Sossusvlei and the ghostly panoramas of Dead Vlei. The recently renovated and entirely solar-powered camp entices with its adventures, its landscapes, its tranquility. The eleven air-conditioned suites—each with its own plunge pool—pay homage to the local geology, reflecting the gray and pink limestone of the surrounding area in color and texture.
Little Kulala has an intimate spa where you can enjoy products from the premium Healing Earth brand. Be sure to treat yourself to the signature Sossusvlei Desert Escape treatment – you'll feel like a new person! There are numerous activities to choose from both inside and outside the camp, from e-bike rides and nighttime scorpion hunts to balloon safaris. Don't miss the half-day excursion to the world-famous towering rocks of the Namib. The 27,000-hectare private game reserve also offers exclusive opportunities to observe wildlife such as oryx antelope, bat-eared foxes, brown hyenas, and birds.
Little Kulala blends seamlessly into the desert landscape and features eleven thatched "kulalas" (meaning "to sleep" in the Oshiwambo language). Each of the atmospheric suites has a spacious terrace, a shaded sala, and a private plunge pool. Each suite also has a roof terrace that can be used for sundowners, African tapas, and romantic rooftop dinners. A unique feature of the suite is a pull-out bed under the sala, where you can take a siesta during the day and admire the starry sky at night.
The culinary experiences at the resort reflect the history of the camp. This is achieved through immersive cuisine and a mindful menu that focuses on Namibia's sustainable and local ingredients. Breakfast consists of a small buffet in the dining room and a selection of different prepared options. Lunch is served on the outdoor deck and consists of three courses, including healthy and light dishes. In the evening, you can dine on the wraparound veranda, in the cozy restaurant, in the sunken wine cellar, or at the cozy fire pit in front of the camp.
Eleven magnificent suites have been built on raised terraces. Low-pitched thatched roofs, canvas walls, air conditioning, private plunge pools, and en-suite bathrooms equipped with their own open-air showers allow you to be surrounded by nature at all times. The suites' private terraces are protected by a spacious thatched roof. You can even sleep on the flat clay roof of the bathroom and experience the twinkling of the stars at night. The side walls of the main lodge can be opened to give you a direct view of the desert. An outdoor covered dining room and a bar with wine cellar, library, souvenir shop, and pool in the main building round off the feel-good experience.
