Little Kulala Camp (Sossusvlei)

A welcome oasis in the Kulala Wilderness Reserve, Little Kulala Camp celebrates the splendor and solitude of the Namib Desert, Namibia. The 21,000 hectare Kulala Wilderness Reserve is south of the Sesriem gate to Sossusvlei. The closest reserve to the Sossusvlei Dunes and Dead Vlei.

Little Kulala Camp is on the west side of the reserve; a prime location with wonderful landscapes of Sossusvlei dunes to the west; the rugged Namib mountains to the north and east; and in between them are grassy plains and “fairy circles”. Fairy circles are circular patches of land barren of plants. It is on the riverbed of the dry Auab River with dead acacia trees; a spectacular vista. This area is a hotspot for photographers.

Kulala Wilderness Reserve

Once used for subsistence goat farming; the region had very little indigenous wildlife. In 1996 Wilderness Safaris stepped in to rehabilitate the area. Today; the land and its wildlife have returned to their former glory. Wildlife adapted to the deserts of the Kulala Wilderness Reserve include ostriches, springboks, gemsbok, spotted hyenas, and occasionally brown hyenas. You can also see small creatures such as Bat-eared foxes, black-backed jackals, porcupines, Cape foxes, and aardwolf.

One bird, a well named Dune Lark, has its entire global distribution limited to the area. The Kulala Wilderness Reserve is home to an amazing variety of insects, reptiles, and rodents. At dusk, you can hear the barking gecko barking. On a walk, you’ll find small creatures. The buck spoor spider with burrows that resemble buck footprints, and ambush specialist antlion. To name but a few.

The Kulala Wilderness Reserve is home to two camps; the spectacular Little Kulala Camp and its slightly larger sister camp, Kulala Desert Lodge. Both are premier accommodation options in Sossusvlei. Part of the Wilderness Collection whose philosophy is built on preserving biodiversity, conserving wildlife, and uplifting local communities.
