Phinda Forest Lodge

Phinda Forest is hidden in the rare Sand Forest of Maputaland and is home to exciting species such as African Broadbill, Narina Trogon, Rudd’s Apalis, Pink-throated Twinspot, Lemon-breasted Canary and Southern Banded Snake-eagle. With a total lost of over 400 species, birding at Phinda is always very rewarding.
