We recently spent our honeymoon in Namibia and as our first stop we stayed in Little Kulala. The site is stunning, exclusive and genuine. From the moment we arrived the staff bent over backwards to be welcoming, helpful and to accommodate our needs. Special mention to Raymond - we love your sense of humour. We loved the isolation of the... More

Little Kuala proved to be the perfect place to stay in the desert. Fantastic rooms with great privacy and all facilities you can possibly need! In particular sleeping on the roof is a great option. The location of this small camp is perfect; close enough to the public camp gate to avoid too much driving, and at the same time... More

You cannot believe the location, the staff, the guides, who all make this place so special. Cannot find anything to be negative about and would recommend anyone to stay here for the experience and the luxury of the suites, getting up early for the dune drives was a bind but the sights soon made up for it and the surprise...

My husband and I recently spent two nights at the Little Kulala safari camp. Unfortunately, it was 41 degrees celsius with a horribly hot wind blowing every afternoon and evening. As well, having gotten up at 4:30 in the morning to be able to get to the base of Sand Dune #45 in time to climb it for the sunrise,... More

To make it quick, amazing location facing the orange sand dunes, it was a real pleasure to shower every single morning and watching such stunning sceneries ! The room itself is very spacious with all the... More

I just returned from Little Kulala and can not even begin to express how much I loved the lodge. We felt the decor was simply gorgeous yet completely blended into the surroundings. Looking over the previous reviewers review I didn't relate to his feelings that the design was not practical...I felt like I had more than enough room in the... More

We had a wonderful experience with our three night stay at Little Kulala. The villas were very comfortable and the architecture stunning. We loved the waterhole where oryx, impala,ostrich, and, at night, owls visited. Our day at Sossusvlei was magnificent, especially because our wonderful guide, Petrus, ensured that we climbed Big Daddy early before the heat got too bad, and... More

Very well positioned for visiting the dunes at Sossusvlei with a comfortable lounge and a large deck with lots of sofas giving good views over the surrounding countryside.
