Situated in over 21, 000 hectares of private property and bordering the Namib Naukluft Park, Kulala Desert Lodge lies in the heart of the Namib and offers magnificent views of the famous red dunes of Sossusvlei, magnificent mountainous scenery and vast open plains. Fifteen thatched and canvas chalets or "kulalas” (kulala in the Namibian language "oshiwambo" means; to sleep) with ensuite bathrooms and showers, are set on wooden platforms to provide maximum airflow. An option for outdoor enthusiasts is to move bedrolls onto the rooftop to sleep under the stars. The main lodge, with décor inspired by northern Africa, has a sitting room, bar, dining area, plunge pool and a wrap-around veranda, which overlooks the waterhole and provides a perfect location to view and photograph the desert scenery. Early morning, guided nature drives to the spectacular dunes, are through a private gate on the Tsauchab River. Nature drives and walks are also offered on the private reserve. Guests can expect to view incredible landscapes and desert-adapted fauna and flora. Night drives, using spotlights, often encounter small mammals such as aardwolf, bat eared fox, hares and sometimes spotted hyenas.
