Discover for yourself the magic of Phinda from Mountain Lodge. Perched atop a hillside, there are six cottages that can be converted into three adjoining family suites. If you’re after the ultimate luxury, we’ll arrange for you to stay in the even more private family suite. Each room has panoramic windows and wraparound decks — complete with personal plunge pools — to make the most of sweeping natural vistas. You’ll come together at the main lodge for meals, either indoors or outdoors. There’s a large infinity pool here, where you can splash about together between activities. If you have a larger group, Phinda’s Zuka Lodge and Homestead are excellent exclusive-use options.

You could spend a month at Phinda and not see it all! The landscapes are so varied that it's often referred to as the ‘Seven Worlds of Wonder’. You’ll explore among woodland, grassland, wetland, forest, mountains, rivers, and along the coast. The Big Five are abundant, with strong rhino populations and cheetah, too. &Beyond guides and rangers are among the best in Africa. They’ll take you out on foot, as well as on day and night drives, using eagle eyes to spot even the smallest creatures. Marine safaris are also on offer! Beneath the waves is an enchanting coral reef, waiting to be discovered.

We can also arrange specialist safaris, just ask our experts! Whether your teens are budding photographers or you’re a family of bird enthusiasts, we can pair you with the right guides to tailor activities to your family. For something you’ll never forget, we’ll send you out with elephant, rhino, or pangolin researchers for a firsthand look at conservation. Children are also catered to, with curated activities in &Beyond’s WILDChild programme. Back at the lodge, they can join chefs in the interactive kitchen, while parents enjoy a siesta. Childminders are also available if you’d like to take a guilt-free game drive or enjoy a private evening meal.
