Wilderness Safaris’ acclaimed desert retreat in Namibia’s extraordinary Sossusvlei area, Little Kulala, has closed for remodeling. The camp is scheduled to reopen in June 2020.

“As a firm favorite of both our guests and travel partners alike, Little Kulala is situated in one of the best locations in the exclusive Kulala Wilderness Reserve – the only private reserve with direct access to Sossusvlei’s magnificent red dunes. It is this location and luxury of space, combined with the camp’s notable architecture and elegant accommodation, that our guests have come to love. This is why our revamp will focus on enhancing these features in a way that reinterprets the
desert experience, and tells the remarkable story of a desert habitat restored,” notes Alexandra Margull, Wilderness Safaris Namibia MD.

Changes include new flooring, redoing the main area deck, and the addition of a photo hub in the upstairs library space, where guests can learn more about the Namib Sand Sea and other interesting facts about the area. While maintaining the same light footprint, the 11 “kulalas” will have better airflow, a spacious deck and elevated walkways, making it easier for guests to move between their rooms and the main area. Each kulala will also offer a rooftop stargazing experience, enabling guests to identify the astronomical wonders of the Namibian night sky.

A particularly interesting new feature will be a signature sleep-out experience on the bottom deck of each kulala, so guests can easily access their rooms during the night.
