The reserve is close to the highest sand dunes in the world at Sossusvlei, Namibia, which must be seen to be believed. Little Kulala is in a prime location on the western side of the reserve in the dry Auab riverbed.
It offers magnificent dune scenery to the west and rugged Namib mountainous escarpment to the north and east, with grassy plains and 'fairy circles' in between, creating a magical environment.
