Phinda Private Game Reserve safaris

Game drives with passionate local guides explore the grasslands, wetlands and differing forest ecosystems. Being located on a private reserve, afternoon game drives continue after sunset, revealing the reserve’s many nocturnal residents.

Specialist walking, photographic and bird watching safaris can be arranged, alongside participatory conservation experiences. Phinda Private Game Reserve’s proximity to the coast means you might spend the afternoon getting to know the colourful inhabitants of the Indian Ocean.

The reserve is a paradise for young explorers. The reserve is owned by andBeyond and most of the six lodges offer their comprehensive children’s programme. So, your own little cubs will enjoy an action-packed and enriching experience, in the absolute safety of the experienced local team.

South Africa is blessed with accommodation and experiences to suit guests of all ages; Phinda is no exception.

South Africa family holidays are well catered for here, with flexible accommodation options to suit smaller, as well as multi-generational families.

The range of specialised safaris on offer also means that Phinda is perfect for guests with a more specialist interest or knowledge. Help the local conservation team with monitoring endangered pangolin, or darting and notching white rhino.

Or, take a private guide and seek out some of the 436 species of birds that inhabit this very special part of the country.
