The Lodge at Feline Fields

My stay with Feline Fields in Botswana was nothing short of extraordinary.|My first stop was at the Vintage Camp in Khwai, a truly unique experience that blends glamping comfort with the raw beauty of the bush! Sleeping in a luxury tent under countless stars and be surrounded by untouched nature, is something I’ll never forget. We spotted an abundance of wildlife, from elephants and zebras to wild dogs and even lions with their young cubs.||The open-air Spa was a dream, offering deeply relaxing massages with only the sounds of the bush around you. Also the mokoro experience was pure zen , peaceful, authentic and very special to experience the Okavango in this way. ||My package included a helicopter transfer from Khwai to the other camp! Flying over the Okavango Delta to my next destination was absolute magical! Landing right in front of Feline Fields The Lodge felt surreal. Set in the Kalahari, this lodge offers a completely different landscape and experience, which makes the combination truly perfect.||The Lodge is more luxurious, with beautiful suites tucked into the bush. The Villa is a real standout and highly recommended. My days here were filled with unforgettable horseback rides at sunset with Mandela, swimming, relaxing, enjoying the delicious recipes from Pauline, and enriching encounters with the Bushmen, including a bushwalk, which was incredibly interesting and authentic. ||It was an amazing week with Feline Fields! My first and unforgettable introduction to Botswana.|I would love to return in the near future!

Our trip was a combination of the Feline Fields Khwai tented camp and the trip and the Feline Fields Lodge and we ended our trip here. It was a wonderful lodge to come and relax at. We enjoyed activities from San/Bushmen interaction, massages, to playing tennis, going on horse riding and my son even played a soccer match with the staff! We had a lovely, relaxing time and they are busy with reintroduction of more animals into the area, starting with giraffes in January!

Sadly we were very disappointed in our experience and it is really not the fault of the staff or facilities. Both were excellent!! AndBeyond should never have booked us here as there is NO game despite advertising daily game drives and our agent being aware of our preferences for game drives. We will never use AndBeyond again as they don’t do their research or communicate with their clients well. The team at the lodge was the most redeeming quality of the trip. The Botswanian people are always exceptional!

Our stay at the lodge was truly an unforgettable experience! The accommodations were extremely luxurious with multiple bedrooms for our family of 4. The meals and amenities were outstanding and the service with top notch. Our experience interacting with a local tribe was really unique - connecting with a culture that taught us so much about the bush. The Feline Fields organization truly gives back to the community and. We would highly recommend staying here.

My family and I recently had the pleasure of staying at Feline Fields in Botswana for the second time, and it was an unforgettable experience. The resort offers two distinct locations: a vintage camp on the Khwai River and a lodge in the Kalahari desert. We spent two nights at the Khwai camp, where we enjoyed thrilling game drives and a serene mokoro trip down the river.||The game drives at the Khwai camp were a highlight of our stay. Each drive was an adventure, offering us the chance to see a diverse array of wildlife in their natural habitat. Our guide, Mandela, was incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about the local fauna and flora. He had an uncanny ability to spot animals from a distance and provided us with fascinating insights into their behaviours and ecosystems. And nothing beats the early morning coffee break in the middle of nature.||We were fortunate to witness a pride of lions lounging in the early morning sun, a herd of elephants majestically crossing the river, and a group of playful wild dogs. The drives also included sightings of giraffes gracefully moving through the trees, hippos lazying in the rivers, zebras and wildebeest grazing in the open plains, and a variety of bird species that added vibrant colours to the landscape. Mandela's expertise and enthusiasm made each sighting even more special, and he ensured that we had ample time to observe and photograph the animals.||One of the most memorable experiences at the Khwai camp was the mokoro trip down the river. Gliding silently through the water in a traditional dugout canoe, we were able to immerse ourselves in the tranquil beauty of the river and its surroundings. The mokoro trip offered a unique perspective on the wildlife and the ecosystem. We saw many water buffalo along the river banks. The birdlife was abundant, with colourful kingfishers darting across the water and fish eagles soaring overhead. The peacefulness of the mokoro trip allowed us to connect with nature in a profound way, making it a truly special experience.||Following our adventure at the camp, we spent four nights at the lodge in the Kalahari desert. The lodge provided a peaceful environment perfect for relaxation. The amenities at the lodge were exceptional and added to the overall experience. We stayed in the luxurious Family Villa, which featured a private heated swimming pool with a teak deck all around. The spacious suite provided privacy and comfort with a separate room for the kids , making it feel like our own home in the desert.||The lodge also offered a range of activities, including horse riding, a desert sleep out (which we didn’t get to try as we have young kids), game drives, a dinner under the stars and an interactive experience with the local San Bushmen (we did this during our previous visit). We enjoyed resting by the pool, indulging in delicious meals, and exploring the surrounding wilderness. The food was exceptional, catering to our dietary requirements and ensuring that every member of our family was well looked after.||The staff at Feline Fields were outstanding. It was heartwarming to see familiar faces of staff members who had taken on new roles within the camp and lodge. Their dedication and professionalism made our stay even more enjoyable. Special mention goes to Mandela, our guide, who went above and beyond to ensure we had a fantastic trip. Our children particularly enjoyed his company and the horse rides at the lodge.||Overall, Feline Fields provided us with a perfect blend of adventure and relaxation. The exceptional service, beautiful surroundings, and memorable experiences made our stay truly special. We highly recommend Feline Fields to anyone looking for an extraordinary holiday in Botswana.

We booked four nights at the vintage camp and for nights at the feline fields lodge and truely enjoyed this experience of a lifetime from the first to the last minute.|The vintage camps lies right by the river and is an extraordinary place run by a highly professional and motivated team, from chef to guide and manager to tentkeeping, we met warmhearted people who made our stay unforgettable.|Wildlife is lush, safaris exciting, food and service relaxing...|We then travelled by helicopter to the lodge for a winddown and a winddown we got ! |Again we were greeted by a well trained staff, highly professional and proud to service their guests in a relaxed fashion that did not leave any wishes open.|Wildlife is not as ample as in the delta but a winddown is a winddown, is it not.|Other activities such as meeting members of a bushmen tribe and a nightout in the bushland with only the stars above you will remain in our memories instead.|We also visited the projects run by the Feline Fields Trust and were impressed by the impact these have on improving the life of the community.|For these eight nights we felt being part of something very special and rare.

The feline vintage camp was 5 star everything was great the setting/tents/food/staff were wonderful. The safari and the guide was brilliant see elephants/lions/hippos/cheetah/giraffes/ so many animals in their natural environment. So many beautiful birds.|The Lodge was so luxurious. The staff first class. The room overlooking own pool then the Savannah so peaceful and beautiful. Can not fault anything about this experience.

Beautifull rooms and nice mess airea space in the Lodge. Spacious and beautifull materials are used. In the evening it looks very fairytale with all the lantarns lightning up. In real it looks like the pictures on the website. Really special are the bushmen! It gives you the special feeling of being in Africa! At the vintage camp in Khwai, the surrouding is amazing. Luxurious tents but also vintage feeling of the bucket-shower, camping chairs and a lot of details. Really authentic. You got the feeling that you are in the wildlife itselfs. The game drives are awesome. We saw lions, buffalo's, zebra's, elephants, wild dogs, girafs, waterboks and hippo's. And we were all by ourselfs most of the time. No other vehicle around us. This was the holiday of my life!
