Phinda Private Game Reserve

There are lots of great accommodation options on the50,000 acre Phinda Private Game Reserve.   These include everything from the private Homestead to the intimate 6-roomed Rock & Vlei Lodges. There are also the traditional lodges of Forest and Mountain for a more conventional stay. Each makes good use of the different terrain to provide a relaxing and beautiful place from which to enjoy your safari. Big cat viewing is very good here, with the Phinda Private Game Reserve being a stronghold for cheetah in South Africa. It is also the site of one of the largest and most well protected Black & White Rhino populations. Add to this the 400+ bird species, cretaceous era fossils and a host of adventure activities and you have an all in one safari that will stay with you for a long time!  Phinda is a superb example of contemporary conservation working hand in hand with communities and this story is a big part of the safari experience here.  Also of note is the diversity of habitat, making a game drive a real journey of variety.  The reserve is close enough to the iSimangaliso Wetland Park to allow for daytrips to South Africa’s first World Heritage Site.
