Kalahari Manor

Kalahari Manor is a private house in the grounds of Deception Valley Lodge, a pristine oasis deep in the Kalahari Desert of Botswana and not far from the famous Okavango Delta.

The guests at Kalahari Manor can enjoy all the facilities available at Deception Valley Lodge while enjoying the privacy and luxury or their own private house. The Manor brings back memories of Colonial Africa with French doors leading from the rooms onto a shady veranda overlooking your own waterhole. Here you can enjoy a traditional high tea, a refreshing gin and tonic or just savour the peace of the Kalahari as dusk falls.

The guiding is superb, by owner Jacobus, the game viewing fabulous and the Bushman experience entertaining and enlightening. Clients can experience the vastness of the Kalahari whilst enjoying abundant bird life, game viewing or star gazing by night.

Activities include safaris with open 4x4 vehicles, night drives to explore the nocturnal species, bird watching with over 200 species from the deck at the main lodge or in a hide at one of the water holes, and nature walks with experienced guides. Plus guided walks with the Bushmen to explore their culture, survival and hunting skills and their extraordinary knowledge of the veldt and animal life. Specialized guided walks where you will learn the survival of plant, animal and man in this arid semi desert.
