Little Kulala Lodge is situated within the arid Namib Desert on the 90,000 acre private Kulala Wilderness Reserve. Accommodation at Little Kulala consists of 11 climate-controlled, thatched "kulalas" (the word means 'to sleep') with exquisite fittings and fixtures, and innovative bleached decks - each with a private plunge pool. Each kulala has a rooftop 'Star Bed' for romantic stargazing, with both indoor and outdoor showers. The main area features an elegant entertainment area which includes a library, wine cellar, craft boutique, lounge and dining areas. Dining under the clear Namibian skies is a highlight.

Little Kulala Room Desert-adapted wildlife such as ostrich, springbok and gemsbok eke out an existence and are sparsely distributed around Little Kulala. Smaller creatures such as bat-eared fox and aardwolf can be seen at night in the cool desert air. Activities here start with morning guided drives to the spectacular towering dunes of Sossusvlei, through a private gate into the reserve. Sossusvlei is situated within the Namib Desert, the oldest desert in the world, which itself is part of the Namib Naukluft National Park that stretches 400km south of Walvis Bay and is sandwiched between the west coast and the escarpment that runs parallel more than 100km inland. Its huge dunes and flat valley floors make up the archetypical view of the Namib that is world famous.

Guided drives and walks are also offered on the private Kulala Wilderness Reserve with incredible views, desert-adapted wildlife and plants.

DAYS 4/5 - DAMARALAND

From here you will head eastwards to the enormousto fly up the Huab River to Damaraland Camp for two nights.

Highlights of the stay of Damaraland Camp are nature excursions into the rocky desert in search of the rare and endangered desert Elephant and Rhino and this is an area where the chances of encountering the desert Elephants are high.

The camp itself is set on the northern face of the Huab River valley and looking south toward the imposing Brandberg Mountains. Early morning mists, generated by the clash between the icy Atlantic Ocean and the warm desert air of the Skeleton Coast, drift inland along the river sand canyon, providing sustenance to the flora and fauna of the region.. Although wildlife is not concentrated the camp is situated where the rare Desert Elephant roams, alongside Gemsbok (Oryx), Springbok, Ostrich and other hardy desert animals. Rare succulent plants somehow manage to eke out an existence in this harsh countryside.

Damaraland Camp accommodates a maximum of 16 guests in comfortable tented rooms, with en-suite facilities including flush toilets and showers with hot and cold running water. The dining room and bar are combined under canvas, and an open fire is enjoyed on calm evenings. A feature of the camp is the unique rock pool. Tonight relax after dinner and take in the amazing clear stars above.
