Kulala Desert Lodge

Kulala Desert Lodge, on the doorstep of Sossusvlei

Kulala Desert Lodge is a luxury camp of 23 small villas, or "kulalas", set on stilts to catch the night-time breeze. The lodge is ideally situated for exploring the famous dunes of Sossusvlei, a fantastic ecosystem offering far more curiosities than mere heaps of red sand and a few antelopes... The lodge features 3 family structures so that all ages can discover one of the most fabulous deserts in the world. The list of activities is long and a stay of at least 3 nights is recommended to make the most of the site's exceptional natural light and to have the chance to observe the various families of living creatures that inhabit this desert. Mammals include: ostriches, springboks, oryxs, spotted or brown hyaenas, porcupines, black-backed jackals, aardwolves... Insects and snakes include: scorpions, ant lions and other crawlers, which are generally preferred outside one's tent. The great Namib Desert is a most enriching and soothing experience in its own right. NB: Children accepted from 6 years old.

ETHICS

The «Small Carnivore Project» was created when bat-eared foxes were recorded in the reserve, a sign of species rehabilitation. The research project has now been extended to other species including the aardwolf, a timid insectivorous animal often wrongly confused with hyenas.
