Little Kulala Camp
Sossusvlei, Namibia
LITTLE KULALA CAMP - SOSSUSVLEI,
NAMIBIA
Situated south of the Sesriem gate
to Sossusvlei on the 21,0000 hectare private Kulala Wilderness Reserve
and bordering the Namib Naukluft Park,
Little
Kulala
lies in the heart
of the Namib. The camp is built on the western side of the Kulala Wilderness
Reserve and offers magnificent views of the famous red dunes of Sossusvlei
as
well
as magnificent mountainous scenery and vast open plains. Little Kulala
is located on the dry Auab River bed and has some of the design features
of the established Kulala Desert Lodge, but is
a smaller, more intimate camp. Little Kulala Camp is owned and
operated by Wilderness Safaris.

Eight thatched & canvas
chalets or "Kulalas" (Kulala
in the Namibian language "oshiwambo" means "to sleep")
are set on elevated wooden platforms to provide
maximum airflow. Each unit has its own private bathroom and wrap-around
veranda with a small plunge pool. An option for outdoor enthusiasts:
an internal staircase leads to the flat rooftop of each unit providing
the ideal setting to spend the evening stargazing in private. The camp
also offers bedrolls for the rooftop to sleep under the stars.
The main area has a relaxing lounge, dining room, bar and curio shop
all under thatch. There is also an outdoor swimming
pool with an amazing view of the dunes.
Activities
Activities are varied and include
early morning guided game drives to the spectacular dunes and day trips
to the Namib-Naukluft mountains. Game drives and walks are also offered
on the
private reserve
with incredible
scenery, desert game and smaller desert-adapted fauna and flora. Spotlit
night drives are also a highlight. Early morning hot-air ballooning is
another option offered, weather permitting. The 60 minute balloon safari
offers
a truly
unique experience of soaring silently above the magnificent desert sand
dunes and and ending off with a champagne breakfast served at the landing
site.
Wildlife
On the edge of the oldest desert in the world, this
is not a game rich area; however, whatever game guests see is interesting
and dramatized by the contrast between life and the desert. However,
guests will likely see animals like Springbok, Gemsbok (Oryx) and Ostrich
who manage to survive in these harsh conditions. Night drives using spotlights
offer sightings of Cape Fox, Aardwolf, Blackbacked Jackels, Bat Eared
Foxes and even the odd Spotted Hyena. Hartmann's Mountain Zebra may also
be seen in the Namib-Naukluft Park.
