"Kulala Desert Lodge review"
Staff were very attentive, greating us at the car with fresh juice and smiles. As we were checking out, one of the staff members noticed we had a low tire and filled it with air. Nice extra step. The setting and style of the place could not be better. Highly recommend.
These travellers took a Guided Sossusvlei excursion with Kulala Desert Lodge. They commented about this:
It was definitely worth doing if nothing more than to have a good car with someone else driving on the road to Sussuvlei, as our rental car would not have made it. The guide seemed to be in a bit of a bad mood -- maybe he didn't feel well and people can't always be "on", so I wouldn't make too much of that. However, he also wasn't terribly knowledgeable. It also was a bit ruished. We would have preferred to go on our own, so we could have more time at each spot where we stopped." See all these reviews: 13n in Namibia
"Kulala"
Very friendly and welcoming staff. Bar and verrandah exceptionally located.
A little bit far to Sossusvlei in morning (but an acceptable distance) if you don't take their relatively expensive trip in." See all these reviews: 12n in Namibia
"Kulala Desert Lodge review"
Petreus our guide was enthusiastic and knowledgeable.
The dunes experience was incredible, however having left our lodge just after dawn, we had expected to be walking the dunes around sun rise, at least not in the heat of the mid morning, when it was also more crowded." See all these reviews: 9n in Namibia; 9n in Botswana

"under the stars at Kulala"
Food was ok, but tried too hard, it would have been beter to keep it more basic and wholesome. The afternoon cakes were a treat to look forward to.
Sleeping on roof, under the stars was an experience to remember.
We think the dunes visit would have benefited from a very early start to capture the early morning shadows." See all these reviews: 16n in Namibia

It would be helpful to put some gravel on the paths to the rooms rather than mostly sand." See all these reviews: 14n in Namibia
