You don't expect to find a tennis court in Botswana’s Kalahari Desert, especially one made of crushed termite mounds, but there is one such specimen at The Lodge at Feline Fields, which officially opened following the completion of its six suites in January. As the owners, the French-Dutch couple Marjan Blom and Raphael Real del Sarte, Chairman/CEO of Global Equities Capital Markets, explain, they wanted to create a different kind of lodge than the classic safari variety, something that they were looking for but never found. This type of lodge is for guests after they’re done the safari experience, the daybreak/sundowner game drives and want a place to relax without having to fly back to Johannesburg and then out to an island/beach. After returning to the Maun Airport, the pathway to light plane excursions to safari camps in the Okavango Delta, it's less than an hour by helicopter to this lodge.
