Wilderness Kulala Desert Lodge is ideally situated on 27,000 hectares of pristine private land at the foot of the majestic Sossusvlei dunes, surrounded by miles and miles of ancient desert. Its exclusive-use gate allows guests early access to explore Sossusvlei, one of the most remarkable and photogenic landscapes on Earth.
Guests can climb Big Daddy, one of the highest sand dunes in the world; hike along the 30-metre deep Sesriem Canyon, or take a leisurely stroll near camp along the Tsauchab River Trail. Nature drives and guided walks spotting desert-adapted wildlife are also on offer, as well as a family favourite – a guided exploration of the spectacular gravel plains on electric-powered fat-tyre bikes. Perhaps even more unforgettable: take it all in from above, hot air ballooning (optional activity at extra cost) over the desert landscape.
The 21 thatch-and-canvas rooms (including two family units) are built on raised wooden platforms, with flat rooftop areas for sleep-outs under the extraordinarily clear Namibian night sky. A comfortable and elegant open living area, sparkling pool and wraparound veranda overlooking a waterhole comprise the public main area.
