Our Opinion... Our Opinion: "a world class property with breath-taking views and superb activities"  

Home to four magnificent lodges, each with its own individual charm and character, Phinda Private Game Reserve is the perfect base for exhilarating explorations of a truly remarkable country. Described as "Seven Worlds of Wonder" Phinda has an abundance of natural riches to surpass the every dream of guests on an African safari.
With remarkable game viewing and seven distinctive habitats from grasslands, woodlands and wetlands to the rare Dry Sand Forest, Phinda is a world premier benchmark for responsible, sustainable ecotourism.

From natural architecture to the more "Zulu-Zen" style, each lodge provides clients innovative, classical and dramatic accommodation, suitably designed to blend in with nature yet taking nothing away from the sheer luxuriousness of an award winning property in the heart of Africa. All decorated with an African touch, the rooms offer a comfortable retreat from the South African sun and a perfect vantage point from which to discover the habits of remarkable animals.
