Room Information

The camp comprises nineteen elegant and comfortable brick and canvas tents under thatch, with twin accommodation and ensuite facilities. Each has been built on a raised wooden platform to maximize the expansive views. Gravel pathways link the tents to the convivial main area. A snug and comfortable private rooftop area for sleep-outs under the stars completes each room, and makes for an unforgettable experience.

Two spacious family units each have two bedrooms with two three-quarter beds per bedroom, and their own ensuite facilities. Separate entrances lead to each family unit, while a shared outdoor deck connects both units.

Things To Do

Nature Drives
The 37 000-hectare (91 429-acre) private Kulala Wilderness Reserve offers visitors exclusive wildlife-viewing opportunities, which include the likes of gemsbok (oryx), bat-eared fox, brown hyena and birdlife. A highlight is a coffee or sundowner stop in the exceptionally scenic reserve.

Visit Sossusvlei & Dead Vlei
World-famous Sossusvlei is both the name for the area in general; as well as an enormous clay pan, flanked by immense sand dunes. Climb the 984-foot red dunes and gaze upon the famed Namib Sand Sea World Heritage Site. Nearby, at the foot of some of these dunes, the skeletons of 900-year old camelthorn trees dominate the landscape where once water flowed. This is known as Dead Vlei.

Visit Sesriem Canyon
This fascinating geographical formation is well worth a visit. The result of millions of years of water carving its way into the earth, today Sesriem Canyon is 1.8 miles long. Views from the top are breathtaking, while walks through the canyon reveal distinct geographical layers which were laid down over aeons.

Guided Nature Trails
Walking trails focus on becoming immersed in this remote area, as well as its scenic beauty and the fascinating, and surprisingly, diverse array of insects, reptiles and rodents which make this dry and harsh region their home.

Guided Fat-Wheeled e-Bike Excursions
Ideal for introducing your family to the natural wonders of Namibia, take in the sweeping scenery on fat-wheeled e-bikes. A fun way to explore the spectacular open plains with your guide.

Sleep-Out Experience
Private rooftop area for sleep-outs accessed by a wooden staircase behind each tented guest room. Sleep-out under the twinkling skies in the Namib Desert, and be lulled to sweet slumber by the magical night sounds of Africa.

Hot Air Balloon Excursion (optional activity at an additional cost)
The hot air balloon safari on the Kulala Wilderness Reserve offers a truly exceptional experience – soaring silently above the magnificent sand sea of the Sossusvlei dunes, with a champagne breakfast served at your landing site. Weather permitting, unavailable between December 25 through February 15 (inclusive).
