Described as 'Seven Worlds of Wonder', the CC African run Phinda Private Game Reserve in KwaZulu-Natal has an abundance of riches to surpass every dream of an African safari.
One of the finest game-viewing experiences, Phinda features not only the Big 5, but a plethora of other animals and birds within its 21,000 hectares, which encompasses 7 distinct habitats - dry sand forest, savanna, woodland and wetland systems, beautiful river courses, mountain ranges, marshes and pans.
Phinda Private Game Reserve is home to 5 magnificent lodges, each with its own individual charm and character.
All the lodges offer a fully inclusive safari package, including all meals, drinks, and exceptional Big 5 game viewing in open 4x4 safari vehicles with experienced rangers and Zulu trackers, plus optional interpretive bush walks every day.
One lodge, (Phinda Zuka Lodge), can be taken on an exclusive basis, and is ideal for families or groupls of friends travelling together.
