Kulala Tented Camp
Kulala
Tented Camp, in the heart of Namibia's Namib Desert, is
a 12-bedded camp situated on the 21,000-hectare private
reserve near Sossusvlei. The camp is about four kilometres
from the main Lodge, with a separate entrance and access
road. It is built at the foot of a mountain facing west
with great sunset views. This camp can be booked by groups
with their own guide and vehicle, or by guests on a self~drive
safari.
The
camp consists of six Meru-style tents with en suite bathrooms
with showers. Hot water is solar heated. The tents are linked
to the main dining room, bar, reception area and swimming
pool by gravel pathways. The interiors are simple yet comfortable
and have solar powered 12V lighting and overhead fans. The
main dining area, pub and reception are built from stout
timber and canvas with thatch roofing. There is a fully
stocked bar, and traditional three course meals are served
at dinner. At night, lanterns light the main area, and a
full breakfast is served there in the mornings
On
the edge of the oldest desert in the world, this is not
a game rich area, however, whatever game we see is interesting
and dramatised by the contrast between the desert and animals
like Springbok, Gemsbok (Oryx) and Ostrich who manage to
survive in these harsh conditions.
Night
drives using spotlights often encounter small mammals such
as Aardwolf, Bat Eared Fox, Hares and sometimes Spotted
Hyenas.
