A Yoga & Safari Journey in Botswana | May 5 - 14, 2028
Join me for an extraordinary journey into the heart of Africa, where the wild beauty of Botswana meets the restorative power of yoga.
Imagine beginning your morning with the first light of sunrise, heading into the African wilderness as the landscape awakens. Elephants moving along the riverbank, the distant calls of birds, and the golden light illuminating the landscape. Days spent exploring some of Africa's most remarkable wildlife regions, followed by afternoons devoted to yoga and evenings beneath an endless canopy of stars.
We'll spend four nights at an intimate Vintage Camp along the Khwai River in the Okavango Delta, followed by four nights at luxury lodge in the Kalahari Desert. The transition between these two landscapes will be a spectacular one-hour scenic helicopter flight.
Our adventure begins with a night in Johannesburg, South Africa, where we'll settle into a boutique hotel and enjoy a guided city tour, including lunch and dinner.
Throughout our time in Botswana, yoga, meditation, and opportunities for quiet reflection will be woven into the experience. There will also be plenty of adventure, incredible wildlife encounters, exceptional cuisine, and time to simply take it all in.
This is more than a safari. It's an opportunity to step away from the familiar, reconnect with nature, and experience the extraordinary beauty of the African landscape.
Our Daily Rhythm
Our days will follow the natural rhythms of the African bush, with two opportunities each day to explore the wilderness.
Early Morning | Sunrise Safari
We'll head out with our experienced guides as the sun rises, when the landscape awakens and wildlife is often most active.
Late Morning | Breakfast & Leisure
Return to camp for a leisurely breakfast, followed by time to relax, enjoy the surroundings, or simply take in the sights and sounds of the Khwai River.
Midday | Lunch & Time to Unwind
Enjoy a freshly prepared lunch at camp, followed by some time to yourself. Take a refreshing shower, relax in your tent, read a book, or simply enjoy the peaceful surroundings before our afternoon practice.
Afternoon | Yoga & Meditation
We'll gather in our outdoor shala for mindful movement, breathwork, and meditation. This will be our time to slow down, reconnect, and restore after the morning's adventures.
Late Afternoon & Evening | Sunset Safari
As the day begins to cool, we'll head back into the wilderness for another safari experience, returning to camp for dinner and an evening beneath the African stars.
At Feline Fields Lodge, we'll create a slightly different rhythm, allowing the daily experiences and activities of the Kalahari to guide our schedule.
Your Accommodations | Two Extraordinary Safari Experiences
One of the special aspects of this journey is the opportunity to experience two very different styles of luxury safari accommodation, each with its own character and connection to the surrounding landscape.
Feline Fields Vintage Camp | The Okavango Delta
For our first four nights, we'll stay in beautifully appointed luxury bell tents along the Khwai River.
Feline Fields Vintage Camp brings together the romance of a traditional African safari with all the comforts of an exceptional boutique retreat.
The spacious canvas tents are furnished with luxurious king or twin beds, plush mattresses, soft down duvets, feather pillows, beautiful rugs, and vintage-inspired furnishings.
Each tent features:
A private en-suite bathroom.
Flushing toilet and large bucket shower with warm water.
Comfortable safari chairs on a private wooden deck.
A charming outdoor washbasin and refreshment station.
The atmosphere is intimate and wonderfully relaxed, with beautiful communal lounge and dining tents overlooking the river.
Family Accommodation: Two larger family tents are available, each featuring two interconnecting bedrooms, one with a king bed and one with twin beds, sharing a bathroom.
Feline Fields Lodge | The Kalahari Desert
For our final four nights, we'll move to the spectacular Feline Fields Lodge, where the accommodations offer a different level of privacy and understated luxury.
The lodge has three distinct accommodation options:
The Pool Suites | Private Pools & Panoramic Views
There are just three exclusive two-story Pool Suites at the lodge. Elevated above the landscape, these beautiful private retreats offer sweeping views across the Kalahari.
Each suite features:
A luxurious super king bed surrounded by flowing mosquito nets.
A spacious lounge area.
An elegant en-suite bathroom with a freestanding bathtub, shower, and double basins.
A private swimming pool measuring approximately 4 x 6 metres.
A beautiful teak deck with comfortable loungers.
An upper-level outdoor deck, perfect for relaxing or sleeping beneath the African stars.
These are particularly special accommodations, and I will offer the three Pool Suites to guests in the order reservations are received.
The Bush Suites | Immersed in Nature
The three Bush Suites offer a beautiful sense of connection to the surrounding wilderness.
Raised above the ground on spacious wooden decks, these airy suites feature twin beds that can be converted to a super king, elegant en-suite bathrooms, and expansive views of the Kalahari.
Each suite also has a private outdoor star bath, where you can soak beneath the extraordinary African night sky.
The Family Villa | Space to Share
For families or friends traveling together, the two-bedroom Family Villa offers additional space and privacy.
The villa features two en-suite bedrooms, a shared living area, a generous outdoor deck, and its own private swimming pool overlooking the Kalahari.
All accommodations at the lodge are thoughtfully positioned to provide privacy and beautiful views of the surrounding landscape.
Please note that all retreat accommodations are based on double occupancy. The larger family accommodations are available for guests traveling together.
