Luxury Holidays At Little Kulala

Bordering the Namib Naukluft Park in the heart of the Namib Desert - thought to be the oldest in the world - this acclaimed luxury retreat boasts staggering views of the wind-sculpted red dunes and clear, starry skies of Sossusvlei and offers a collection of activities that make the very most of its unique location,  including walking trails and nature-drives through Kulala Wilderness Reserve. The main lodge - with its stylish lounge, wine cellar, library and dining area - has been inspired by the environment and features a wraparound veranda with plunge pool overlooking a waterhole, while the eleven stunning, climate-controlled kulalas each comprise a bedroom with floor-to-ceiling windows, an en suite bathroom with shower and an expansive deck area with a private plunge pool, shower and an outdoor sala, while up on each kulala's roof, there's a 'skybed' perfect for romantic star-gazing. Little Kulala prides itself on being as organic as possible - using natural linen, pure cotton and natural vegetable dyes in its exquisitely beautiful interiors - and is an isolated, peaceful gem, ideal for spending a few nights in blissful ignorance of the outside world.

Why Little Kulala is so special...

Wildlife Encounters

Little Kulala inhabits a remote and arid desert landscape and, as a result, is nothing like your typical safari experience. Barren, yet staggeringly beautiful, the landscape is littered with small but fascinating creatures, from insects, reptiles and rodents, to larger desert-adapted animals such as Ostriches, Dune Larks and Springboks. Guided morning drives transport guests into the colossal dunes of Sossusvlei within the Namib Desert - known to be the oldest desert in the world.

Romance

Boasting a unique and truly secluded desert location, Little Kulala epitomises romance. Each private villa houses its very own plunge pool and a sensual outdoor shower, offering you complete intimacy on your unforgettable couple's retreat. Start your day watching the sun rise over the stunning landscape, explore the desert on safari, before returning to Little Kulala to unwind with a side-by-side massage. Enjoy an exquisite, candle-lit meal for two overlooking the dunes - accompanied by the finest bottle from the Wine Cellar - before returning to your private 'sky bed' to gaze at the stars together.

Climate

Namibia enjoys an average, three-hundred days of sunshine a year. Whilst the winter months (from July to September) are cooler and the most popular time to visit is generally between April and June, it's worth bearing in mind that during the summer (from November to February) the country bursts into life with vibrant floral displays and many wildlife and bird species giving birth to their young during this time. Rainfall isn’t as much of a concern as you might think, and with fewer travellers you'll often enjoy more intimate experiences.

Scenery

Discover Namibia, a unique destination brimming with some of nature’s best, untamed artistry and astonishing landscapes - from the mindboggling Skeleton Coast to The Namib, the planet’s oldest living desert and namesake of this land. Picture a swathe of rolling sand dunes glowing red at sunrise and plunging down to the coast; picture vast scoops of wilderness dotted with lush oases, ancient valleys and gigantic clay pans. Add a scattering of striking green mountains, rushing rivers, wetlands and regions almost lifted from space with their peculiar, lunar-like settings. The result? Sheer natural beauty that is truly unparalleled.

Scenery
Wildlife

Namibia’s remote setting is home to vast conservation areas filled with wildlife, where species such as giraffe, gemsbok, springbok, elephant and lion are all perfectly adapted to desert life. The region also showcases fantastic birdlife - Benguela Long-Billed Larks, Jaegers and Skuas are just a few species in the feathered community. Unforgettable outings include the opportunity to track Black Rhino on foot, as well as a scenic flight along the wild and wonderful Skeleton Coast, stretching as far as the eye can see. Along its stark shores, colossal colonies of Cape Fur Seals huddle for warmth, while, offshore, shipwrecks are a poignant reminder of the area’s harsh marine history.

Wildlife
Adventure

Expect top-class adventures to rival Africa’s best. Join guided eco-treks on foot, jeep or quad bike and explore Namibia’s mesmerising dune landscapes. Meet some of the world’s last nomadic people, the intriguing Himba tribe, and learn all about their traditions and culture. Climb ‘Big Daddy’, the showpiece of Sossusvlei, soaring 300m skywards from a red sand valley. Impress friends at home and capture a sunrise shot of Dead Vlei, a huge clay pan ringed with blazing red dunes, offset by brilliant blue skies and golden rays. Round off an adventure-filled day by dining beneath the stars – Namibia’s clear skies are famous for showcasing nature’s finest cosmic diamonds.
