Little Kulala

My stay here was truly exceptional. The lodge has beautiful and carefully curated decoration, and the setting in the middle of the desert is absolutely sublime. The room includes both a shared pool area and a private pool, which makes the experience feel very exclusive. Everything was all-inclusive — meals, drinks, and transportation to Deadvlei, Dune 45, and the hot-air balloon activity — and the organisation was flawless. The food was excellent, and the views throughout the property are stunning. One of the highlights is the option to sleep outside on the outdoor bed under the stars, which I did. It was an unforgettable experience and one of the most special moments of my trip. There is a plug available for the 4x4 fridge, which is very practical when travelling through Namibia. WiFi is only available in the main building, but it works well there. A truly remarkable place, deeply memorable and highly recommended.

An Intimate, World-Class Desert Experience at Little Kulala Our family of four stayed at Wilderness Safaris’ Little Kulala Lodge during our first trip to Namibia, and it exceeded every expectation. We came for the wildlife and the iconic dunes of Sossusvlei, and were completely awed by the vast, dramatic landscapes—Little Kulala was the perfect base from which to experience them. The lodge is wonderfully intimate, with just 11 luxury camps, yet it feels impeccably supported by an attentive, highly professional staff. From the warm welcome onward, everything felt personal, seamless, and genuinely exclusive. What makes Little Kulala so remarkable is how effortlessly it delivers luxury in the middle of the desert. Despite its remote location, we enjoyed Wi-Fi, hot showers, high-quality linens, and private plunge pools—comforts that felt almost surreal in such a wild setting. The food was another highlight. Even coming from the New York City area, every meal impressed us with its quality, flavor, and presentation—no small feat given the lodge’s location. Our guide, Emmanuel, truly made the experience exceptional. Knowledgeable, patient, and wonderfully attentive, he went above and beyond—arranging ATV outings, taking us scorpion-tracking, and accompanying us up Big Daddy dune with hiking poles, photos, and encouragement every step of the way. Little Kulala delivered not just luxury, but warmth, passion, and authenticity that made our first visit to Namibia unforgettable.

An absolutely unforgettable experience from every angle! The Little Kulala is the epitome of luxury — from the stunning lodge itself to the impeccable service, every detail is flawless. The staff are some of the kindest, most attentive people you will ever meet, making you feel genuinely cared for throughout your stay. The activities, the accommodations, and the overall experience are perfectly curated, combining adventure, comfort, and elegance in the heart of Namibia’s breathtaking landscape. Simply put, everything here is top-notch — pure luxury, exceptional hospitality, and memories that will last a lifetime.

Little Kulala is an extraordinary place. It’s in the middle of nowhere in the Namib desert yet the food was exceptional and the service beyond exceptional. The staff are marvellous!

The views from the entire resort were extraordinary. The team was top notch, accommodating, and warm. Our guide Nelson was simply the best and he made our time in the desert spectacular. The food was top notch and the activities were everything we wanted to experience in our time in the desert. Highly recommend, this was the best place we stayed during our 3 week vacation. We didn't want to leave!

An absolutely amazing place! I have never felt a sense of space, quiet and peace as here. The lodge is well organized and comfortable, the staff is welcoming and warm, the food is great. The experiences and locations all around are breathtaking. I had high expectations and Little Kulala blew them away!

Stunning temperature controlled villas with private (unheated) plunge pools & outdoor showers, complemented by excellent dining and a fabulous location. Hyenas and jackals are common sighting at dinner; cocktails are average. Welcome drinks and hot towels welcome you in; friendly staff to guide you throughout your trip. A perfect spot to go to Sossuvlei and Deadvlei from; ask for Gabriel — he’s the best! They also set up a bed outside for you every night in case you want to sleep Under the stars!

Set in a privileged location within a private reserve bordering Sossusvlei, the lodge offers front-row access to one of the most surreal landscapes on Earth. From climbing the towering red dunes to an exhilarating quad bike ride through the otherworldly terrain, every activity was thoughtfully curated and utterly breathtaking. The attention to detail and genuine care from the team—especially housekeeping, was outstanding. Returning to my suite after dinner to find a bed thoughtfully set up on the deck perfectly arranged for stargazing under Namibia’s crystal-clear skies, was an unforgettable highlight. This place is not just beautiful—it’s soulful. A perfect blend of adventure, serenity, and understated luxury.
