ABOUT

An authentic safari with luxurious surrounds, and proximity to the Indian Ocean allows for Scuba Diving as well.

Phinda is a luxury private game reserve located in the KwaZulu Natal Province in North-East South Africa. The reserve is a magnificent mix of woodland, grassland and wetland punctuated with mountains, rivers and marshes. It is easily accessible from Richards Bay airport which is a short flight from Johannesburg. All the big five roam the reserve as well as cheetah and over 400 bird species. It is also extremely close to the east coast and the white beaches that abound in South Africa. This gives you ample opportunity to also scuba dive during your stay at Phinda and full dive courses are available.

Black Rhino tracking

Phinda is made up of six unique lodges that have been designed to complement the different habitats perfectly. Forest Lodge sits in the shade deep in the heart of a forest, while Mountain Lodge has remarkable views out over the Reserve. Vlei Lodge is on the edge of the forest and overlooks the vast wetland, while Rock Lodge sits peering over a deep valley below. Phinda is also home to two safari villas, Zuka Lodge and The Homestead, for exclusive use.
