On the northern outskirts of the Central Kalahari Game Reserve
Here lies the rare opportunity to meet and explore this remarkable environment with Bushman Guides of the Naru-speaking tribe, one of the oldest cultures in Africa.
Deception Valley Lodge is a small, family-owned and managed lodge situated on the outskirts of the Central Kalahari Game Reserve. It is located within 15,000 hectares of private reserve - allowing for greater flexibility with regard to game activities than the national park. The lodge also overlooks a busy watering hole. With its own airstrip a short 15 minute drive from the lodge, Deception Valley Lodge is a mere 30 minutes by air from Maun.
Deception Valley Lodge offers eight private guest chalets, each of which consists of a twin bedroom, separate lounge and a Victorian style bathroom with an outside shower. All of the rooms have private decks where you can sit and gaze at the Kalahari bush. The lodge boasts a swimming pool, several indoor and outdoor areas in which to relax and dine and, in a nod to the remoteness of the location, wireless internet delivered by satellite.
Activities include day and night game drives in a good game viewing area with a guide and tracker, walking safaris, and cultural visits to local bushman villages. Exploring the bush on foot, while your guide will teach you of the hunting and survival skills, the culture and crafts of the San people, who over the centuries have adapted their lives to survive in the most inhospitable environment of them all.

We think that the best people to talk about an experience are those directly linked to it. Our website and brochures let the ‘real experts’ show their stuff… local experts, travellers & industry insiders. Look out for the coloured markers all around the site... they mean that you are reading something contributed directly by a person from one of these different parts of the community we are part of.
The best memories aren’t simply places and hotels, they are made up of experiences and people… so we connect with local communities, and strive for sustainable travel to make your holiday special
