&Beyond Phinda Mountain Lodge
Phinda Private Game Reserve
Phinda Mountain Lodge lies within Phinda Private Game Reserve and is a vast area of 28 555 hectares (70 560 acres) that is all protected wilderness. With seven distinct habitats, the reserve is frequently described as being seven areas of absolute wonder. It is a beautiful combination of woodland, grassland, wetland and forest all interspersed with mountain ranges, rivers, marshes and pans.
The reserve is extremely close to the unspoiled beaches and spectacular coral reefs of the Indian Ocean. This allows guests a unique opportunity to combine both beach and bush.
Phinda is home to Africa’s Big Five (Lion, Leopard, Elephant, Buffalo and Rhino), as well as 436 bird species. The reserve is particularly well known for close-up sightings of the elegant yet elusive Cheetah.
Perched on a dramatic hill top with panoramic views of the spectacular Ubombo mountain range, and the surrounding bush, Mountain Lodge is a dramatic safari destination. The lodge comprises 16 suites, three family cottages (two rooms each) and the exclusive family suite which presents an eagle eye view of the reserve below.
Accommodation
Spacious and luxurious suites bring natural light through tall glass windows. The elegant en-suite bathrooms are inspired by Zulu basket ware designs. A magically appointed personal bar, private sitting area, lounge and a spacious veranda with a plunge pool and outdoor shower.
Main Guest Area
A spacious bar area links to the pool, spa and gym that features state-of-the-art equipment and a yoga deck with a view. Delicious meals are served in the dining area that features an interactive kitchen and pizza oven. Bush dinners take place under the stars in the traditional stone and reed Boma. Phinda is renowned for its bush banquets in natural, unexpected settings, and guests may well find themselves enjoying their meal in a spectacular clearing in the bush.
