The Deception Valley Private Reserve spans more than 43 000Ha of pristine Kalahari wilderness. Designated waterholes, hidden viewing hides, vegetated dunes, natural pans and an amazing valley, offering incredible game viewing opportunities.
The lodge also gives you an opportunity to embrace the Naru tribe’s culture as they share intricate knowledge about their way of life. This cultural exchange is a fundamental part of the Kalahari experience, offering a once in a lifetime experience to your stay. Guests can also enjoy the clear night skies by star-gazing activity which is available on request. The Camp waterhole is a major attraction and hours can be spent sitting on the deck enjoying the view and activity as the wildlife visit for a drink.
