Accommodation & Facilities
Phinda Forest Lodge is set deep in the heart of the beautiful sand forest. The lodge is a masterpiece of glass, wood and minimalist design, set on stilts above the floor of a rare sand forest. Forest Lodge's 16 glass encapsulated air-conditioned rooms with en suite bathrooms, are designed to give the feeling of being at one with the forest habitat. Guests can also relax and unwind in the lodge's airy and stylish sitting areas that overlooking the game filled plains or beside the rim-flow swimming pool.

Wildlife & Activities
In addition to twice-daily vehicle based game drives with highly knowledgeable &Beyond rangers and trackers, guests can enjoy canoeing on the Mzinene River. Phinda's close proximity to the Maputaland coastline means that guests can also enjoy beach activities such as snorkelling and scuba diving, deep-sea fishing and beach picnics. The 'Flight of the Fish Eagle' offers guests a birds-eye view of the pristine Maputaland coastline and some of the highest forested sand dunes in the world, as well as the famed iSimangaliso Wetland Park (formerly known as the Greater St Lucia Wetland Park). Horse riding trips outside the reserve around the nearby Saint Lucia lake can also be arranged and paid for locally.
