Comfort set in vibrant and rustic coloured interiors, Deception Valley Lodge accommodates up to sixteen people on a sharing basis. The lodge is private and restful. Attention has been given to every detail ensuring you a completely different experience, in an arid Kalahari bush land stretching for miles. Each unit stands separately, on stilts connected with the main lodge by wooden walkways.

The main complex boasts a dining room, lounge and bar area decorated in warm Kalahari colours making use of Bushmen and other African artifacts. From the deck you can view activities at the nearby water hole. A curio shop and small library forms part of the complex. The lodge has an ethnic African theme and was build to fit into the surrounding bush without altering, damaging or detracting from its ambience and colour.

A swimming pool situated close to the main complex, enhances the enjoyment of guests. The boma features prominently during the African nights when guests enjoy their dinner while gazing across a clear night sky.

Activities at the lodge includes:

  • Games drives with open 4X4 vehicles
  • Night drives to explore the nocturnal species
  • Bird watching - over 200 species, from the deck at the main lodge or in a hide at one of the water holes
  • Nature walks with experienced guides
  • Guided walks with the Bushmen to explore their culture, survival and hunting skills and their extraordinary knowledge of the veldt and animal life.

    Interact with the Bushmen of the Kalahari on one of the Cultural walks with Bushmen at Deception Valley Lodge.
  • Specialized guided walks - survival of plant, animal and man in this arid semi desert.

Other activities at Deception Valley Lodge include afternoon and night drives in custom built game viewing vehicles with the chance to see the rare Kalahari lion, cheetah, leopard, giraffe, kudu and if lucky, the elusive brown hyena. The night drives in particular will reveal a fascinating world of nocturnal species. Deception Valley is a bird lover's paradise.

Enjoy the amazing Kalahari Sunsets while having sun-downers on Safaris or Walks.
