About this place
Tucked into the edge of a rare dry sand forest, Phinda Forest Lodge offers an intimate safari experience like no other. The lodge features eight suites built on stilts, connected by elevated walkways that weave through the forest canopy. Each suite boasts glass walls providing uninterrupted views of the forest, where nyala antelope, red duiker, and an array of bird species move quietly through the undergrowth. Located within the 29,000-hectare Phinda Private Game Reserve, guests enjoy exclusive Big Five game viewing, cheetah reintroduction programs, and unique forest ecosystem experiences guided by expert rangers.
