"Top end Lodge in a remote desert landscape"

2 nights Arrived 17 Jan 2019
"A beautiful Lodge set in stunning scenery. Our guide (Darius) was outstanding.

The early morning excursion to the dunes at Sossusvle / Dead Vlei was an unforgettable experience.

We also saw plenty of Oryx, springbok, zebra and ostriches on a couple of drives around the area." See all these reviews: 14n in Namibia

"A stunning camp in the desert"

2 nights Arrived 25 Oct 2018
"A spectacular place to arrive by Cessna - a short drive from the airstrip to the camp.

Beautiful room with rooftop bed, private plunge pool and sun beds.

More explanations of planned excursions on arrival would have been useful." See all these reviews: 14n in Namibia

"Fantastic Lodge - not to be missed!"

2 nights Arrived 24 Oct 2018
"The highlight of our Namibia tour. Wonderful staff, superb accommodation and excellent food all in a most beautiful location.

Enjoyed the opportunity to sleep on the roof in the open air on a warm clear night with a full moon. Staff couldn't have been more helpful and we enjoyed the game drives and the sundowners. Our guide was very knowledgeable and very good at spotting game. It was lovely to see a couple of oryx drinking at the waterhole during breakfast.

Make sure Expert Africa includes this lodge in your tour." See all these reviews: 9n in Namibia

"Little Kulala"

3 nights Arrived 15 Sep 2018
"Little Kulala is smart and modern, a style which in my opinion lacks the atmosphere of traditional camps. But Kulala is aimed at a wide variety of guests, not only traditional safari enthusiasts. The bush dinner lacked atmosphere with separate tables seeming very formal.

The first evening was the highlight when a short drive took us to a beautiful view for our sundowner. En route we had a great sighting of an Aardwolf and distant Hartmann's Mountain Zebra.

The trip to the dunes started way after sunrise so felt busy with other tourists. Our guide simply dropped us off at the bottom of the popular Big Daddy.

There was no choice of afternoon activity, just quad biking which isn't of interest to me. The next day we were driven to Sesriem Gorge for an unaccompanied 20 minute stroll. The rest of the day and evening we were left with no activities. This lack of guiding and choice of activities was very disappointing and we felt we should have been advised to just have 2 nights at Kulala, not 3. If we had been there just for 2 nights I would have said the activities were good." See all these reviews: 16n in Namibia
