"Kulala set in a beautiful location"
The staff and specially the Manager were great and helped us out when we left our passports behind by sending them ahead to a future lodge.
The guide was more of a driver than a guide but was very knowledgeable if you asked a lot of questions.
For a lodge like this the food could be a lot better." See all these reviews: 7n in Namibia; 4n in Botswana; 2n in Zambia
"Kulala Desert Lodge review"
This was made worse by the cold weather . In the morning, we woke up with the temperature around 10° inside the tents!
The food was very disappointing -the worst of the holiday.
The staff was very helpful especially in managing the plane charter for the Mullaly family.
The guide was also very good.
