Your unilateral passage to “Zulu Zen”

Disregard the yoga studio.  If inner calm is your objective, &Beyond Phinda Forest Lodge provides it abundantly.  The lodge’s Suites are innovatively constructed to combine glass-and-wood minimalism with African authenticity, exemplifying eco-sensitivity and “Zulu Zen”.

Situated within the Phinda Private Game Reserve’s unique sand forest, the Suites were designed to preserve the nature rather than disrupt it.  Private observation decks provide a vantage point over the verdant plains, while the towering torchwood trees encircling each suite ensure privacy.  The Big Five traverse the expansive grasslands before your suite, while the sky teems with over 380 avian species.  They can be observed during the lodge’s daytime and nocturnal wildlife drives, strolling safaris, and river cruises.

All suites are equipped with air conditioning, and the lodge features a rim-flow swimming pool.  Pan-African cuisine is offered at the boma, while breakfasts and dinners are available in the wilderness during safari excursions.  The St Lucia Wetlands, a World Heritage Site, are only a few drives away, and from November to January, the endangered leatherback and loggerhead turtles nest along its shores.  Integrate your journey to Phinda with a visit to Cape Town and Kruger National Park for the quintessential Southern Africa safari.
