Further Information

CC Africas Phinda Private Game Reserve is situated in the lush Maputaland region in northern KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa. Bordering the Greater St Lucia Wetland Park a World Heritage Site Phinda comprises 18 500 hectares (45 711 acres) of prime conservation land. Seven distinct habitats shelter an abundance of wildlife including Africas Big Five (lion, leopard, elephant, black and white rhino, buffalo) and over 380 bird species.

Phinda Forest Lodge, Phinda Mountain Lodge are all quite large camps with over 16 suites, but there is Phinda Vlei Lodge or Phinda Vlei Lodge with only 6 suites but if you are after real exclusivity then the place for you is Phinda Zuka Lodge which has only 4 bush thatched cottages. Alternatively you can take over the family house which is known as Phinda Getty House. As with all the Pinda properties the standard of service and pan-african food is very high and you will certainly get looked after very well on this huge reserve.

Why?

Stunning location
Great style, food and service
Private reserve

Why Not?

Like a lot of the lodges in South Africa, its got a bit carried away with the luxury rather than the true african bush experience
