For many first-time travellers to East Africa, the promise of seeing the Big Five is what captures the imagination. Lions on the prowl, elephants crossing dusty plains, rhinos grazing quietly in the distance – these are the images that define a classic safari.
In the heart of Botswana’s wild, beautiful landscapes the Feline Fields Trust quietly goes about its work. Backed by the safari-expertise of Feline Fields Lodge and Vintage Camp, the Trust brings meaningful social development and educational support into the communities we work in.
Life in the Kalahari is measured by the slow passage of the sun across endless skies, by the wind in the scrub and the low hum of insects that never seem to rest. For tens of thousands of years, this semi-arid land has shaped the people who call it home.
The Khwai floodplains are not a place you have to search for life. It is simply there, stitched into the grasslands, moving across the open ground in a steady, unhurried rhythm. This is where the familiar lives - impala, zebra, wildebeest, red lechwe - animals so common that the eye can skim past.

But it’s also a question that’s impossible to answer in the usual way – because time, at Feline Fields, behaves a little differently...
There is a stillness in the African wilderness that speaks louder than any words. Out here, under Botswana’s vast skies, the rush and roar of modern life falls silent. The ticking clocks, crowded inboxes, endless to-do lists - they all dissolve into the hush of the breeze moving through countless leaves and the rhythmic rising and setting of the sun over ancient Kalahari sand.
