Situated on the northern edge of the central Kalahari Game Reserve in a private reserve, Deception Valley Lodge provides a unique experience for those who wish to soak up the true atmosphere of the bush in one of Africa’s remote semi-desert areas where Bushmen once roamed. The Bushman experience is a highlight at this safari lodge.

Deception Valley Lodge accommodates up to sixteen people in six chalets and one family suite with two en-suite bedrooms, a large terrace and a private pool. Each unit offers an en-suite Victorian-style bathroom, an outside shower and a private spacious lounge. All units are fitted with ceiling fans and mosquito nets. The chalets are connected with the main lodge by wooden walkways.
 
The main complex boasts a dining room, lounge and bar area decorated in warm Kalahari colours and a large deck from which guests have an amazing view over the waterhole which frequently gets visited by a variety of animals. Guests can exercise in the lodge’s very own gym or relax by the swimming-pool. A curio shop completes the offer. 

Activities at the lodge are undertaken in the Kalahari Private Reserve and include game drives in open 4x4 safari vehicles (with trackers), night drives in the reserve, bird watching and guided game walks with experienced guides.  The Kalahari Desert is a harsh environment where water supplies are limited and the wildlife has adapted accordingly.
