Tours
Most lodges and tour operators in Maun can organise mobile safaris around the CKGR.
Trips can cost anywhere from US$150 to US$250 per day, though prices can vary greatly
according to the season and the number of people in the party. It's easier to get a lower
price if you're booking as part of a group.
Sleeping
There are campsites dotted around the reserve. Most lack facilities, but most campsites
have a
braai
pit, bucket showers and a pit toilet. You'll need to be fully self-sufficient for
water, food and petrol. The more expensive lodges within the CKGR are usually accessed
via charter flight.

The four campsites known as
Kori sit on the hill that rises gently from the western shoreline of Deception Valley.
There's plenty of shade and some have partial views of the valley, making it a wonderful
base.

These three
campsites have no facilities, but their location on the valley floor (some kilometres apart)
is among the best in the Kalahari. Site No 2, under a shady stand of trees in the centre of
the valley floor, is simply wonderful and the world is yours and yours alone.

Slightly re-
moved from the main circuit in the heart of the reserve, Piper Pan has a wonderfully re-
mote feel and wildlife watching is good thanks to a waterhole next to the pans. The pans
are 26km southwest off the main Letiahau track. Check the Bigfoot Tours website for
GPS coordinates.
