Phinda is one of the few places in the world where it is possible to see not only the Big Five, but also turtles, whales and dolphins in one day. One of Africa's most ecologically diverse reserves, it reaches from the Ubombo Mountains in the west to the Indian Ocean in the east and includes seven sophisticated and unique lodges: Forest Lodge, Mountain Lodge, Rock Lodge, Vlei Lodge, Zuka Lodge, Getty House and the Phinda Walking Safaris Camp. Cutting edge design includes elements such as stone suites set into the cliff face and ultra luxurious glass suites suspended above the forest floor. Private plunge pools, hand wrought chandeliers, slate floors and air-conditioning are just a few of the myriad factors that elevate these lodges out of the ordinary.
Just as the lodges are exceptional, so too are the activities. Night turtle drives are thoroughly moving, whilst the highlight of flying safaris must be rising over the dunes to see the outline of whales, dolphins and sharks way below in the dark blue Indian Ocean. Game drives and walks through rare sand desert, savannah and dense thornveld reveal crocodile and hippo in the lakes, black rhino in the bush and birds everywhere. With deep-sea fishing, diving, horse riding and cultural tours also on the menu, Phinda really does have something for everyone.
