All the staff were very welcoming and the food was great.
We took part in the trip to the desert in the morning and a more general drive in the afternoon. Both were with the same guide, who was very knowledgable, and same group of other guests which made it feel very sociable.
Would definitely recommend." See all these reviews: 12n in Namibia

Groups for the cars were well planned - we were with a similar family.
Sleeping on the roof with extra blanket and hot water bottle was a special experience.
Whilst the location and individual staff were good overall the team seemed a “step behind” compared to other lodges we stayed at. Others anticipated the rhythm of the day whilst during our stay this lodge was full and staff seemed to be on the back foot." See all these reviews: 16n in Namibia

The Lodge itself is very comfortable - the dining area has great views. The chalets are well equipped. The Staff were all very friendly and helpful .
Kulala was a great choice as a base in the Sossusvlei area, although Wilderness should probably change a little the afternoon activity ( Sesriem canyon) . We felt it was a bit lightweight compared with the morning visit to the dunes. But probably it is hard to beat the Sossusvlei." See all these reviews: 13n in Namibia
