Day 4

Staying at Feline Fields Lodge

Today you pack your bags and say your good-byes to the Khwai region, as you will board a helicopter for a scenic helicopter transfer flying over the Okavango plains, to reach a very remote area within the Kalahari region.

The Kalahari is a desert like no other, an ancient land of semi-arid savannah that seems to stretch forever, filled with a rich diversity of life. This is the ancestral homeland of Africa's First People - the San Bushmen - whose fascinating culture permeates everything in this incredible destination.

Arrive at the lodge where you are met by the safari guide and lodge manager who will take you through the options of activities during your stay.

Feline Fields Lodge sits in the northern reaches of the Kalahari, to the west of the Okavango Delta, not far from the border with neighbouring Namibia. Completely off-grid, using state-of-the-art solar technology, it's a retreat in every sense of the word, offering a range of activities from desert biking, game drives and horse riding to guided walks, tennis and even golf practice!

You will get to enjoy fireside storytelling and walks in the Kalahari with the Bushmen, as well as visits to local villages and the chance to witness genuine mystical and spiritual trance dances.

Day 5-7

Kalahari Botswana

Staying at Feline Fields Lodge

There are a range of activities on offer, you can also choose to spend the day at the lodge, relax at the pool, book a spa treatment and immerse yourself fully in nature. From meeting the San Bushmen to spending a night under a million stars, Feline Fields Lodge is all about creating magical moments for you and your loved ones.

The game drives in the Kalahari allow you to explore the impressive landscapes and unique environments that make this desert region so special. While not a prime game viewing area, you may nonetheless see elephants and other desert-adapted species like gemsbok, as well as amazing birdlife including ostriches and secretary birds.

Join the San Bushmen for a guided walk through the Kalahari, learning about their traditional way of life and the plants and animals that sustain them. You will find out about the medicinal qualities of the endemic flora and how to find water and store it, keeping it fresh for weeks, as well as how to make fire and find food.

The Kalahari is perfect for horse riding, with its vast, largely flat landscape making it exciting to explore from the saddle. Enjoy guided trails through this unique environment and stop for a bush breakfast or lunch along the way.

You will have your own sand bike for your use during your stay. Feel free to cycle at will in and around the lodge or go out into the Kalahari with one of our guides and explore further afield.
