Deception Valley Lodge

Deception Valley Lodge, nestled on a vast 43,000-hectare private conservancy on the edge of the Central Kalahari Game Reserve, offers guests an authentic Kalahari experience. The lodge uniquely pairs traditional safaris with cultural immersion, as guests are guided by the Naru-speaking San tribe’s Bushmen, Africa’s ancient inhabitants. During day and night game drives, witness diverse wildlife including the black-maned Kalahari lion, cheetah, and elusive species like the brown hyena and pangolin.
