  • Type of Accommodation: Lodge
  • Comfort Level: Mid-range

overview

Surrounded by red dunes, desolate mountains and gravel plains, Kulala Desert Lodge is set at the heart of the Namib Desert. The camp's main buildings have been built in a North African style and constructed entirely from clay bricks with a wrap-around veranda overlooking a waterhole and the surrounding desert scenery.

A guided excursion to the famous Sossusvlei sand dunes located nearby will give you a unique desert experience, while guided nature walks, game drives and quad bike trails around the lodge's private reserve are also offered. Cool off in the afternoons in the plunge pool or watch animals such as oryx, bat-eared fox, aardwolf, ostrich and jackal drink from the waterhole in front of the main building. One morning you could choose to go on a hot-air balloon safari where you will be served with a champagne breakfast upon landing.

Facilities

Built from clay, thatch and canvas and with a distinctive North African feel, the main lodge has breathtaking views of the surrounding desert from the raised wrap-around veranda which has a seating area overlooking the waterhole and the alfresco dining area.

The cosy lounge area, featuring a built-in fireplace, plus the indoor dining room and bar all open onto the veranda while you'll want to cool off in the lodge's plunge pool on hot desert afternoons.

Dining

A generous mid-morning brunch buffet is served at the lodge each day - those who have left the lodge early to visit the Sossusvlei dunes will enjoy their brunch under a camelthorn tree surrounded by nothing but desert.

A cold lunch is served at the lodge for those few who are still peckish come lunchtime. Following your afternoon activity, enjoy sundowner drinks while you watch wildlife at the waterhole before dining outdoors on the veranda under the stars or in the main dining area on chilly nights.

Traveller Reviews

  • The staff were amazing and nothing was too much trouble. We enjoyed sand dunes, petrified forest and Sesriem Canyon trips, plus quad biking.

    Stephen Hopwood, May 2011

  • The trip was really amazing, I loved it. Some of my other favourite hotels were the Olive Grove Guest House in Windhoek. It was beautifully set up and the manager, Brian, really tries to make everyone feel welcome. I also loved Mapula Lodge, and Kulala Desert Lodge. Botswana and Namibia were very organised, and we both felt very safe venturing out and exploring in the countries.

  • Kulala Desert Camp is a wonderful place. It has comfortable bungalows, very good food and very nice people. It is an easy destination for families with kids and was our top selection for food!!!
