Accommodation: Little Kulala Desert Lodge
Situated on over 21,0000 ha of private property and bordering the Namib Naukluft Park, Little Kulala lies in the heart of the Namib Desert on the western side of the Kulala Wilderness Reserve and offers magnificent views of the famous red dunes of Sossusvlei as well as magnificent mountainous scenery and vast open plains. Eight thatched and canvas chalets or "Kulalas" (Swahili for "resting place") with en suite bathrooms are set on wooden platforms to provide maximum airflow. As an option for outdoor enthusiasts, bedrolls are provided for the rooftop to sleep under the stars from a private star gazing platform.

Day 2
Namib Naukluft Park - Sossusvlei
This morning will be spent conducting an early morning excursion in safari vehicles to the Namib Naukluft Park to the famed Namib Sand Sea and to the magnificent Sossusvlei dunes. Departure is before dawn to appreciate the breathtaking desert colours as the sun rises. Once in the desert optional excursions are conducted on foot to photograph the dune landscape and the desert ecology or to climb some of the highest known dunes in the world. A light breakfast is served under the spreading Camel Thorn acacia trees (Acacia eriloba) before returning to the lodge by midday.

During the afternoon conduct a nature drive activity on the property, taking in the desert scenery with its unique fauna and flora. This is not a game rich area due to the harsh environment, however, what game is seen is interesting and dramatized by the contrast between desert and the magnificent animals like Springbok, Oryx and Ostrich who survive and eke out an existence on these arid plains.
