A Commanding View of One of Africa’s Most Diverse Reserves

Set high on a forested hill within the renowned Phinda Private Game Reserve, &Beyond Phinda Mountain Lodge delivers a safari experience defined by perspective—both literal and experiential. From its elevated position, the lodge looks out across rolling hills, river valleys, and rare sand forest, offering a dramatic sense of space and quiet immersion in the landscape.

The lodge itself channels traditional safari elegance, with warm wood tones, wraparound verandas, and a relaxed, old-world atmosphere that feels timeless rather than trendy. Days revolve around expertly guided game drives, with Phinda’s extraordinary biodiversity setting it apart: Big Five sightings, cheetah tracking, prolific birdlife, and access to multiple ecosystems within a single reserve.

Phinda Mountain Lodge is ideal for travelers seeking a classic safari feel without sacrificing comfort, service, or depth of experience. Whether paired with coastal stays, other &Beyond lodges, or a broader Southern Africa journey, it offers a serene, elevated base for discovering one of the continent’s most compelling wildlife regions.
