This deception is most noticeable from the air and at times during the day, from up close, the illusion can be very real deceiving to many who do not know its character. During the rainy season, the grass in the valley is lush and green. The site of thousands of animals can make you forget how dry the area is in general. Despite being in the Central Kalahari Game Reserve, Deception Valley is grassed and lies between wooded dunes.
