andBeyond Phinda Private Game Reserve encompasses an impressive 29 866 hectares (73 800 acres) of protected wildlife land in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa. Showcasing one of the continent’s finest game viewing experiences, the reserve is home to Africa’s Big Five, and more than 436 bird species.
Secluded deep in the rare sand forest, the glass walls of Forest Lodge offer sweeping views of this unique ecosystem. Cradled in a maze of ancient vegetation, each contemporary Zulu-zen Suite provides a tranquil space from which to watch a nyala, a tiny suni or a red duiker graze among the vines. In spite of the floor to ceiling glass, the towering torchwood trees and fertile forest floor create a complete sense of seclusion.
