At Deception Valley Lodge in Botswana you have the opportunity of meeting the Naro Tribe. They are San people who have been living in this arid, inhospitable area for almost 20 000 years. The dialect spoken by the Naro Tribe at Deception Valley Lodge boasts 37 clicks – try getting your tongue around those!

The San people of the Kalahari are legendary trackers and hunters, and at Deception Valley Lodge in Botswana you will have a chance of seeing them in action. Go on a bush walk accompanied by a member of the Naro tribe, as well as a guide from Deception Valley Lodge, who will translate and share the Naro tracker’s vast knowledge of nature with you.
