andBeyond Phinda Private Game Reserve

Tucked into the edge of a dappled forest, in the north of the reserve, Phinda Homestead is a gracious sole-use safari villa. Blending seamlessly into the natural surroundings, blurring the boundaries between the guest and the bush, the lodge’s living areas consist of open spaces, flat-roofed walkways, and shaded areas opening out onto sun decks and a sparkling swimming pool.

 

Designed like a contemporary bush farmhouse, Phinda Homestead is both elegant and homely. Inspired by the breathtaking landscape and the local Zulu culture, shaded, flat-roofed walkways flow into open decks, while basketwork, pottery, carpets and textiles are celebrated interior elements.

Elegant and gracious, Phinda Zuka Lodge is an intimate safari retreat situated amongst densely wooded hills studded with aloes overlooking a private (and very popular) waterhole.

​

Everything you need is right with reach, your personal game ranger and vehicle, and interactive kitchen with a dedicated chef, a butler to see to your daily needs, your own swimming pool and even a private watering hole for your exclusive wildlife encounters.

Pure secluded bliss, Phinda Forest Lodge was one of the world's first truly eco-designed luxury lodges.  After an incredible action-packed game drive, guests unwind in their own glass box deep in the rare sand forest.

Phinda Vlei Lodge offers six thatched suites with interiors inspired by the turn of the century, plantaton-style homestead of KwaZulu-Natal's sugar cane and pineapple barons.

​

At Vlei Lodge simply spending time in your spacious suite is like being on safari.  With each suite carefully positioned for a prime view of the animals coming out to drink and panoramic vistas from even your shower or bathtub, the game viewing never stops.

Phinda Rock Lodge looks out over its own lush valley like a small private castle amidst a tangle of wild African sights and sounds.  The suites of this intimate and romantic lodge cling dramatically to steep cliffs with views across the valley.
