"Kulala Desert Lodge"
The E-bike trip into the desert was an extra we found very enjoyable. Sleeping on the roof of the lodge under the stars was an experience.
As is the norm in Namibia we found, the food, wine and staff were excellent." See all these reviews: 14n in Namibia

"Beautiful Desert Lodge"
The location in the desert is quite spectacular.
The rooms are all spread out away from the main building and some, like the one we were in are quite a long walk from the main building with a rather uneven path. We really loved the stay there with all the activities already booked and planned.
Our guide Richard was brilliant, and looked after us extremely well, not only with the trips out but with making sur that we were in position in time for sundowners each evening" See all these reviews: 12n in Namibia

"Kulala Desert Lodge review"
We went on afternoon rides both evenings we were there and really enjoyed all of the guides (especially Richel). It was my husband's birthday while we were there and they set up our bed on the room of our lodge so we could fall asleep under the stars. They also prepared him a big birthday cake and made a big celebration for him with all of the staff members, dancing and singing in the local language.
It was very nice that it was all inclusive and we really enjoyed our final ride visiting the dunes our last morning." See all these reviews: 10n in Namibia
