andBeyond's Phinda Private Game Reserve is situated in the lush Maputaland region in northern KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa. Bordering the Greater St Lucia Wetland Park - a World Heritage Site - Phinda comprises 17 500 hectares (43 240 acres) of prime conservation land. Seven distinct habitats shelter an abundance of wildlife including Africa's Big Five (lion, leopard, elephant, black and white rhino, buffalo) and over 380 bird species, while the marine diversity off the nearby coast of Sodwana is said to rival the Great Barrier Reef in Australia.
The Homestead - Situated in the north of the Reserve, The Homestead at &Beyond Phinda is a gracious sole-use safari villa that blends seamlessly into the surrounding trees and bush. This exclusive, cutting-edge lodge boasts four spacious and luxurious suites that feature unique sliding panel windows with sweeping views of the surrounding African bushveld. The emphasis is on outdoor spaces to encourage family and friends to maximise usage of the expansive central living areas. Celebrating both Phinda and Zululand, traditional materials of thatch, gumpole and stone tile have been used throughout. The outdoor sitting area is the heart of the Homestead and the perfect place to laze away the hours on inviting sofas. Complete with private ranger/host, tracker, butler and chef, as well as exclusive use of an open 4x4 safari vehicle, The Homestead is ideal for family celebrations and special occasion safaris. An interactive kitchen allows for intimate, informal dining and a rim flow eternity pool provides for respite from the heat of the day.
