Deception Valley Lodge

Deception Valley Lodge offers luxury accommodation in the Kalahari region of Botswana not far from the famous Okavango Delta. Here guests can experience the best of the Kalahari and the Moremi Game Reserve. Bushman culture is another highlight at this lodge and guests are able to learn about this fascinating way of life, survival and hunting skills.

Deception Valley Lodge accommodates up to 16 people on a sharing basis. Each of the eight twin-bedded individual units stand on stilts and are connected with the main lodge by wooden walkways. Each unit has en-suite Victorian style bathroom, an outside shower and a private spacious lounge. All units are fitted with ceiling fans and mosquito nets and a mini-bar.

The main complex consists of a dining room, lounge and bar area decorated in warm Kalahari colours making use of Bushmen and other African artifacts. From the deck guests can view activities at the nearby waterhole. There is also a curio shop and a small library. The swimming pool is situated close to the main complex, offering guests the chance to cool off and relax.

Acitivities include day and night game drives in open 4x4 vehicles, nature walks and bird watching. Guided cultural walks with Kalahari Bushmen are also popular.

Viewpoints

At Deception Valley Lodge we were made to feel like family members rather than guests right from the beginning. The food was beyond superb as was the service and individual care. Our guide Tsoto who doubled as a tracker and his bushman partner and our guide Do, taught us so much and were obviously proud to share their heritage.
