Deception Campsites

The Deception Valley area of the Central Kalahari Game Reserve is where most people start from and was made famous by American researchers Mark and Delia Owens in their book 'Cry of the Kalahari'. Like all campsites in the Central Kalahari the campsites in Deception have pit toilets and bucket showers - no water, you must be completely self-sufficient.

The Central Kalahari Game Reserve is one of the world’s largest, at nearly 53,000km2. The feeling of space and sheer freedom is magical – a true wilderness experience. Animals such as gemsbok, hartebeest and springbok are common, and predators are frequently seen.
