In addition to day and night wildlife drives with highly experienced and very knowledgeable guides and trackers, guests can enjoy bush walks, and sleep outs. Rhino notching, rhino tracking on foot, and pangolin tagging are also offered on a limited basis at an additional cost. Phinda’s close proximity to the Maputaland coastline means that guests can enjoy beach activities such as snorkelling and scuba diving, deep-sea fishing and beach picnics, visits to local villages, and viewing turtle nesting sites can be arranged and paid for locally; some are for children of 12 years and upwards, so please ask us for more details.
