Deception Valley
Lodge
 Deception
Valley Lodge is by far the best permanent camp
in Botswana's Central Kalahari region. This
is truly a Bushman experience, giving guests
an up-close and personal interaction with the
San people, some of Botswana's earliest inhabitants.
Accommodation
consists of five chalets covered with thatching,
each with a nice lounge, en-suite bathroom
plus an outdoor shower. The main area
includes a dining room, bar area and a deck
overlooking the nearby water hole.
Afternoon and
night drives give guests an opportunity to
see the rich wildlife of the Central Kalahari. Common
animals include lion, leopard, cheetah, wild
dog, giraffe, kudu and brown hyena. This
is a unique area of Botswana and it was made
famous by Mark and Delia Owens' book "Cry
of the Kalahari", about their time spent
working to protect this fragile and beautiful
wilderness. |
