Little Kulala
Kulala Wilderness Reserve, Namibia
Why we love it
Little Kulala is a luxurious desert retreat situated in the private 27 000-hectare (67 000-acre) Kulala Wilderness Reserve – the gateway to Namibia‘s Sand Sea with its towering dunes and clear starry skies. Desert-adapted wildlife in the area is fascinating and is another dimension of this truly spectacular place.
Accommodation consists of 11 climate-controlled, thatched “kulalas” (the word means ‘to sleep’) which merge impeccably into the desert landscape, each with private plunge pool, both indoor and outdoor showers and a rooftop star bed for
romantic star gazing. An elegant entertainment area includes a library, wine cellar, craft boutique, lounge and dining areas. Little Kulala’s interiors make use of neutral colours, gorgeous textures and natural light and takes its inspiration from its surroundings, notably from the magnificent Dead Vlei. There are luxury canvas and glass rooms with a thatched roof and latte screens provide a cool respite from the sun; plunge pool and sandy walkways on the ground.
See the famous clay plan of Sossusvlei with its towering orange sand dunes, before moving onto Dead Vlei littered with the skeletons of trees.
See Sesriem Canyon, formed by millions of years of water carving through, for incredible views over Namibia and exciting walks down in the gorge.
Hop on a quad bike or be driven through the wilderness to spot wildlife, with the chance to see oryx, springbok and foxes.
Follow the trails to explore this remote area, stopping to inspect the insects, reptiles and rodents that live on the ground and can often be missed.
Walk along the Tsauchab River after dark, with fluorescent scorpions lighting your path, and the chance to see other nocturnal animals.
Fly above the reserve to appreciate the true extent of the desert as you soar above the orange dunes, and finish with a champagne breakfast.

The journey to Namibia and Serra Cafema was the best trip I’ve ever done. I really loved the remote camp, the way we travelled there (flying over the endless dunes and amazing coastline in a private plane) and the infinite hospitality, knowledge and passion of the whole team. We enjoyed a lot of activities: we visited the Himba people, which was the experience of a lifetime, took a quad bike tour and boat tour. For my birthday, they organised a private dinner at a beautiful, remote location.
