"Little Kulala - top notch base for Sossuvlei"
Little Kulala is all-inclusive which we didn't realise beforehand so all meals, drinks and activities are included. We were assigned a guide and we agreed an itinerary for our 2 night stay. Of course this included visiting Sossusvlei, Deadvlei and climbing one of the Dunes but also included a nature drive and quad biking near the lodge (not on the dunes!). Little Kulala is lucky to have private access to Sossusvlei so do not be put off by how far it is from the main gate.
The level of service is excellent and the food is healthy and delicious. A highly recommended place to stay and be well looked after." See all these reviews: 16n in Namibia
"Little Kulala review"
Willem was an interesting and helpful guide and took us for Sundowners and for sunrise over the dunes. Good food, choice of fish or meat which was good.
Enjoyed sitting on the deck in the shade." See all these reviews: 12n in Namibia
"A breathtaking lodge that we'll never forget."
One thing it would have been good to know (or have highlighted) was the lack of air conditioning in the rooms. Most of the time this wasn't a problem, but in the middle of the day between activities it was difficult to get any respite from the heat," See all these reviews: 7n in Namibia; 4n in Botswana

"Little Kulala review"
Game viewing is limited - you will see plenty of Oryx but not much else although we did come across a side winding adder in the dunes. At night it is amazingly quiet and peaceful. Each lodge has a roof terrace and it is possible to sleep in the open, which we did but note that at this time of year (July) it gets very cold at night and into the morning.
The camp was well run. The guides were helpful and pleasant. Likewise the food, general areas of the camp and the laundry service were all very good." See all these reviews: 12n in Namibia
"Little Kulala review"
I was a bit confused by the room to room massage service - it was unclear if it was included in the price and the lady taking bookings behaved quite strangely when I said I didn't want to book one (looked at me as if I was crazy and then started explaining what it was all over again - all I had said was "no thank you" which shouldn't have been too hard to understand....).
The highlight of the activities was driving through and climbing up the red sand dunes, and the quad biking was also fun." See all these reviews: 10n in Namibia

The dunes were obviously the reason we were there and our activities there did not disappoint." See all these reviews: 10n in Namibia

Loved the way he drew maps on the windscreen with his texter ! Really knowledgeable about history, culture, politics, etc. Food good. Red dunes at Sossouvlei( sp?) are very special...Trip to Sesriem worthwhile..." See all these reviews: 7n in Namibia; 3n in Botswana; 1n in South Africa
"Excellent activities and a top quality lodge"
In terms of activities, we really enjoyed the trip to the dunes and Soussevlei which do leave very early but necessarily so, because of the heat. We also enjoyed the trip to the canyon although this left quite early in the afternoon when the heat was at its highest and we really did have to drag ourselves out of the room. We also opted for an afternoon sundowner trip on our first day and this was also good - the location for the drinks was breathtaking, supplemented by seeing a group of mountain zebra as we stopped.
Finally, both the service and the quality of the food in the lodge were unsurpassed by any of the future lodges. It really was top notch without being aloof." See all these reviews: 14n in Namibia
