Room types at Feline Fields
Bush Suite
Feline Fields Lodge's three spacious Bush Suites are light and airy, raised more than a metre off the ground on beautiful decks made from sustainable wood. This gives you the feeling of floating in the Kalahari savannah with phenomenal views from every angle.
Each bush suite has twin beds which can be converted to a super king size bed, surrounded by flowing mosquito nets and complemented by an inviting en-suite bathroom with double basins, walk-in massage shower and flushing toilet. The suites' sides can be opened up, leaving only transparent gauze netting between you and the bush, creating a natural flow of air and giving that feeling of being completely surrounded by nature.
Family Villa
The sizeable two-bedroom Family Villa is perfect for couples with children or even two couples travelling together and overlooks the pristine wilderness of the Kalahari savannah.
Gauze windows allow for a natural flow of air to the private lounge and the canopied bedrooms on either side of it. Both are double bedrooms, one of which can be converted to a twin or triple room. Each bed is surrounded by linen mosquito nets.
Pool Suite
Feline Fields Lodge's three two-storey pool suites are built on raised platforms to make the most of the incredible views out over the Kalahari. Their raison d'etre is to create the feeling of having your own home in the African wilderness where you can relax in private and immerse yourself in your surroundings.
On the ground floor, a super king size bed draped in billowing mosquito nets forms the focal point of each suite. A beautiful fan on each ceiling, just above the bed, keeps the air cool and there is always a refreshing breeze coming through the gauze windows at night, maintaining a comfortable temperature even at the hottest time of the year. A lounge area with a 150cm daybed sofa and coffee table can be used as a further sleeping area for children. An Engelbox safari fridge with ice-cold drinks is provided in the room.
Activities at Feline Fields
Bush Golf
Guests can practice their swing on the driving range
Bush Gym
Work out in the bush gym, open on all sides to nature. There is an array of exercise equipment to choose from including elliptical, home trainer, weights and more.
Dunes Sleepout
Spend a night under a canopy of stars.
After a beautiful dinner lit by a roaring campfire, rest for the night in mosquito net tents kitted out with real mattresses and duvets.
Spending the night in the heart of the Kalahari, falling asleep admiring the stars nested in a comfortable bed, lulled by birdsong is the ultimate in romance. It is a unique and exhilarating experience that allows you to fully connect with Nature.
In the morning, as dawn approaches, the stars gradually disappear and the birds begin to stir as the first rays of sunlight appear over the Kalahari dunes, gently waking you up and realizing where you are.
Game Drive
We offer morning and afternoon/evening drives in the Kalahari allowing 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.
Gcwihaba Caves Exploration
Journey to the ancient Gcwihaba Caves, a World Heritage site, and the richest cave fossil deposit in Botswana. Accessible by staircase or cage lift, the caves are a cathedral of natural beauty with spectacular stalactites and stalagmites. On the way back stop for a bush picnic under shady trees.
Horse riding
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. Most riding takes place in the early morning to avoid the heat of the day.
Meeting the Bushmen
The Lodge at Feline Fields is located in the heart of Bushmen territory, the first people of the Kalahari.
Feline Fields collaborate with the Bushmen community and offers through this a glimpse into their astonishing wisdom, spirituality and their partnership with nature which ensured survival over millennia.
Experiences range from bush walks under Bushmen guidance where they teach about veld foods and natural medicines and culture and folklore to an overnight fly-camp where you’ll be invited into their inner circle to witness, or partake in, the famous Bushman Trance Dance.
Accompanied throughout by your translator guide, guests have the opportunity to engage with the Bushmen and learn all about their survival skills, food preparation and cultural norms. Follow these ancient nomadic hunters into the pristine and untamed Kalahari Desert and gain insight into the culture and time-honored traditions of the oldest inhabitants of Southern Africa.
Private Spa Treatments
Enjoy massages and rituals that connect you with the Kalahari and its energies in our wellness sanctuary, leaving you refreshed and rejuvenated. We use Africology essential oils, all made ethically and sustainably from African plants that have been growing in our lands for thousands of years.
Sand biking
Each of our suites has its own sand bikes 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.
Tennis Court
Feline Fields Lodge has its own tennis court giving guests the opportunity to play a set or two in the magical environment of the Kalahari! Best played in the cool morning hours or late afternoons with sundowners on tap, this is a great way to have some fun during your stay! Racquets and balls are provided.
Walking Safari
Experience the African bush as you never have before.
Once you alight from your vehicle and your feet touch the earth, you will be surrounded by the sights, sounds and smells of nature. It is here that you will discover a whole new world, mysteries that most visitors never have the privilege to see.
Our skilled and experienced guides will escort you through the bush and introduce you to the small wonders of the Kalahari. A truly fascinating experience where you become part of the wilderness.
