Feline Fields in pictures

Feline Fields, in north-western Botswana, is a luxurious retreat in the Kalahari Desert

Three of the six cabins have their own private swimming pools

Visitors can spend time in the desert, without forsaking creature comforts

As the sun goes down, the pool deck is the perfect place for pre-dinner drinks...

... unless you fancy a drive out into the bush for sundowners on the sand dunes

Kalahari sunsets are unfailingly impressive

A nearby community of San people, the indigenous population of the Kalahari, invite guests of Feline Fields to visit their camp and see a traditional ‘trance dance’

The elders demonstrate some of their traditional bushcraft skills...

...including fire-lighting, as well as digging for water-bearing roots buried deep under the hot sand
