Built for the heat, the 11 suites are on raised decks and have deep thatch, canvas sides and floor to ceiling glass windows to showcase the desert views and open ended landscape.
Every fine detail has been thought out. Elaborate. Elegant. Exclusive. The comforts of air conditioning, a private plunge pool and outside sala area. En suite bathrooms with private outdoor shower. The verandahs have a generous thatch covering at the back, a flat roof for a romantic night under, quite possibly, the most magnificent canopy of stars you'll ever see.
The neutral, light earthen colours bring a sense of a cool and crisp relief to the heat of the arid desert. A mix of textures to delight, in authentic representation of surrounding nature.
The rustic-looking main lodge is also on a raised deck and has a thick covering of thatch with gnarled trees for beams and open sides looking out over the waterhole and desert beyond. The living area comprises a shaded swimming pool, bar, wine cellar, curio shop, library, lounge and indoor and outdoor dining areas.
Game drives; guided walks; don't miss the morning balloon ride and champagne breakfast; excursions to Sossusvlei dunes and Naukluft Mountains; lodge looks over a waterhole
Little Kulala offers guided excursions through a private gate to Sossusvlei in the Namib Naukluft Park; guided walks on the reserve and champagne breakfast balloon flights over the desert.
At Little Kulala Lodge, Wilderness Safaris continues its strong commitment to sustainability through a variety of eco-friendly initiatives. The lodge operates on solar power, reducing its carbon footprint and ensuring that energy use is in harmony with the surrounding environment. Water conservation is a key focus, with greywater being recycled for use in the lodge’s gardens and other non-potable applications. The lodge also promotes sustainable food sourcing by growing its own produce in on-site gardens, reducing its reliance on external suppliers and minimizing transportation-related emissions. Waste is managed responsibly, with recycling programmes in place and efforts to reduce single-use plastics. The design and construction of Little Kulala Lodge incorporate locally sourced, sustainable materials, ensuring the structure blends seamlessly with the desert landscape. By supporting local communities through job creation and sourcing goods from nearby artisans, Little Kulala Lodge contributes to the economic well-being of the area. Beyond the lodge, Wilderness Safaris actively supports the Children in the Wilderness programme, which provides life skills training, leadership development, and environmental education to children from villages neighbouring Wilderness landscapes. Additionally, The Wilderness Trust, the organisation's independent fundraising arm, extends support for vital conservation initiatives. These combined efforts reflect Wilderness Safaris’ broader commitment to conservation and sustainable tourism, ensuring that both the environment and local communities benefit.
