Southern Namibia
Kulala Desert Lodge
This beautiful lodge has a swimming pool, bar and dining area overlooking the stark desert landscape of the Namib. Each room at Kulala has a rooftop sleeping platform offering guests the unique opportunity to sleep under the stars.
The main building has a restaurant with outside dining options and serves tasty regional and international cuisine. There is also a well-stocked bar, lounge and swimming pool. The accommodation is in private bungalows with private verandas and seating enabling far-reaching views across the desert landscape. The bungalows have thatched roofs, and traditional African cloth décor inside with chairs and a small table.
The lodge sits within the 37,000-hectare private Kulala Wilderness Reserve and offers nature drives in the reserve as well as guided excursions to the dunes of Sossusvlei through Kulala’s exclusive private entrance, allowing you to reach the dunes earlier than other visitors.
If you require a more exclusive ambience, opt for Little Kulala.

Do try to use the rooftop sleeping platform: a night under the stars is a magical experience, especially as the night sky is so sparkly, with virtually no ambient light pollution.
