Unique Ideas

Safari at Beyond Phinda Forest Lodge Days 7-9

Safari at Beyond Phinda Forest Lodge Days 7-9

On Monday, Nov 24 we will drive out of Durban to KwaZulu Natal Game Reserves begin our safari in the Phinda Private Game Reserve where a stay at Phinda Forest Lodge will treat us to luxury accommodation in a rare sand forest teeming with game. These wonderful parks are renowned for their dramatic hilly countryside, diversity of flora and fauna, high standards of conservation and their invaluable contribution in saving the white rhino from extinction.  The Beyond Phinda Forest Lodge is set deep in the heart of a rare and beautiful dry sand forest; it fuses architectural design and conservation. The creation of this award-winning safari lodge was an exemplary exercise in building eco-sensitive structures with a light footprint (not one tree was felled during construction). Inventively designed in Zulu Zen style, each handcrafted, glass-encased suite is a combination of glass, wood and minimalist design incorporating high-gloss wooden floors, richly tactile fabrics and crimson Zulu artefacts. Set in rare sand forest, the glass walls of Phinda Forest Lodge offer a sweeping view of one of the most unique ecosystems on the planet. We will stay in one of the 16 private stilted suites which features luxurious ensuite bathrooms with slate hand basins, and viewing decks where we can awake to the sight of graceful nyala and duiker outside the glass walls. We will even have a chance to unwind in the lodge’s sparkling rim flow swimming pool, or relax in the Lodge sitting areas with expansive viewing decks affording panoramic views of the game-filled plains.

The property we will stay at, Phinda Vlei, lives up to its high standards. Set on the edge of the forest and overlooking an open meadow, this property will allow us the chance to have an up close and personal experience with the animals.
