The Camp
Wilderness Little Kulala
Wilderness Little Kulala stands on the dry Auab riverbed on the private Kulala Wilderness Reserve near Sossusvlei. Guests use the reserve's own gate into the national park, for early and quiet time among the red dunes of Sossusvlei and Deadvlei.
The ten suites were inspired by Deadvlei, built of brick and glass under thatch to keep them cool, with colours and art taken from the desert. Each has a deck, a sala and a private plunge pool, a rooftop for stargazing and a bed on the lower deck for sleeping out. There is also one family unit.
The main area has a pool, a library, a bar and a spa. From camp there are nature drives, walks by day and night, quad bike and e-bike outings on the reserve, and balloon flights over the Namib Sand Sea.
