Best of Namibia

Fly in to Windhoek and connect with charter flight to Sossusvlei. Short road transfer and check in to Kulala Desert Lodge.

Kulala Desert Lodge is situated within the arid Namib Desert on the private Kulala Wilderness Reserve, providing convenient private access to the iconic red dunes of Sossusvlei. The camp comprises thatched and canvas kulalas with en-suite bathrooms and verandahs. Each room is built on a wooden platform to catch the cooling breezes and has a deck on the flat rooftop where bedrolls are placed for guests to sleep under the myriad stars of Namibia’s clear skies.

The main lodge, with décor inspired from Northern Africa, has a lounge, pub, dining area and plunge pool, and offers a wrap-around verandah that overlooks the waterhole and provides a perfect location to view and photograph the desert sunset. Early morning guided game drives to the spectacular dunes are through a private gate on the Tsauchab River.

Early morning game drive followed by a hearty brunch back at the lodge. Game drives and walks are offered on the private reserve with incredible views, desert game and smaller desert fauna and flora. Another optional activity (at an extra cost) is early morning hot air ballooning. Beginning at first light, the 60-90 minute balloon safari offers a truly unique experience to soar silently above the magnificent sand dunes and desert - with a champagne breakfast served at your landing site.

Breakfast, check out and take charter flight north to Damaraland. Check in to Desert Rhino Camp. Settle in and relax. Afternoon activity. Dinner back at lodge.
