Situated on a private 27,000-hectare reserve adjacent to the Namib-Naukluft National Park, Kulala Desert Lodge offers your clients one of the most exclusive and convenient gateways to explore Sossusvlei. The lodge benefits from having its own private entrance to the iconic red dunes and Deadvlei, which means guests can enjoy earlier access and a more peaceful experience than other visitors.
Kulala Desert Lodge is located approximately 340 kilometers southwest of Windhoek. The journey takes around 5.5 to 6 hours by road, or just one hour by light aircraft. Both options offer stunning views of Namibia’s desert landscape and serve as a perfect prelude to what your clients can expect during their stay.
Accommodation consists of 23 thatched canvas chalets, known as kulalas, raised on wooden platforms with panoramic desert views. There are 20 twin or double rooms and three family units, each featuring an en-suite bathroom and a private veranda. A standout feature is the rooftop star bed available in each unit, allowing guests the unforgettable opportunity to sleep under the stars in comfort.
Guided excursions include visits to Sossusvlei, Deadvlei, and Sesriem Canyon. Nature drives on the private Kulala Wilderness Reserve offer the chance to see desert-adapted wildlife, while guided walks reveal the secrets of the Namib’s fascinating ecology. For those seeking something extraordinary, hot air balloon rides are available at an additional cost and must be pre-booked. Stargazing is exceptional thanks to the minimal light pollution and clear desert skies.
Kulala Desert Lodge is ideal for couples, families, photographers, and high-end travelers looking for a premium desert experience. It combines comfort, exclusivity, and seamless access to one of Africa’s most remarkable natural landscapes.
