Nestled below the Lebombo Mountains of Northern KwaZulu-Natal,
Phinda is a Zulu word meaning "the return". In one of
the biggest reintroductions of game in Africa, Phinda was restocked
with lion, rhino, buffalo, elephant, leopard, giraffe and other
big game in an operation dubbed "phinda izilwane", return
of the wild animals.
Phinda Forest Lodge:
Phinda Forest Lodge is situated in the depths of the botanically
unique Sand Forest, the bedroom suites were hand-built on small
stilts by the Zulu people. Guests experience the sensuous delight
of luxurious minimalism offset by the verdant forest scene beyond
the chalet's glass walls.
Phinda Mountain Lodge:
The subtle combination of avant garde and ethnic décor at
Phinda Mountain Lodge is inspiring... but nothing surpasses the
view of the ash-blue Lebombo Mountains as they sweep down to the
coastal plains.
