Upon arrival in Windhoek there should be time to relax before a scheduled (seat rate) flight to the desert departing Windhoek at 14h35 and arriving at 15h45(Geluk airstrip) where you’ll transfer to Little Kulala and spend two nights exploring the Sossusvlei region, staying in the Kulala Wilderness Reserve, which provides convenient access to the splendour of the towering red dunes of the Namib.

Activities at Little Kulala start with morning guided game drives to the spectacular dunes of Sossusvlei. A private gate into the Park allows for early arrival at the dunes thereby maximizing photographic opportunities and scenic grandeur.  Kulala Wilderness Reserve, a 40,000-hectare (98 842-acre) tract of land, is home to all forms of desert wildlife and borders the expansive Namib Naukluft Park. The Sossusvlei dunes rise dramatically more than 300metres and are surrounded by awe-inspiring topography. Emphasis is laid on the smaller desert fauna, spectacular scenery, and the incredible night sky. Larger desert-adapted wildlife such as ostrich, springbok, and gemsbok flourish here with carnivores such as bat- eared fox, Cape fox, cheetah and black-backed jackal often seen.
