Phinda Mountain Lodge

Phinda Mountain Lodge is situated in the 22,000 hectare Phinda Private Game Reserve in South Africa's KwaZulu-Natal region. The reserve encompasses an impressive seven diverse ecosystems and an extraordinary range of wildlife, including lion, leopard, buffalo, elephant and rhino.

Accommodation & Facilities
Phinda Mountain Lodge is a very welcoming and relaxed family friendly safari lodge. The main building is on top of a hill with magnificent views. It has a large dining room and bar both decorated in a traditional African style. The large swimming pool and children's play room are close by. The twenty five split-level suites are spread throughout the wooded area below the main building and have foreshortened views into the surrounding bush. Each room boasts a large modern bathroom, outdoor shower, private sitting area, and a spacious verandah complete with a private plunge pool. Nyala and other game often come close to these buildings.

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.
