&Beyond Phinda Mountain Lodge

Seven ecosystems. One unforgettable legacy

&Beyond Phinda Private Game Reserve is more than a Big Five safari. It’s a conservation success story decades in the making. Once a patchwork of farmland, this land was carefully restored into 29,866 hectares (73,800 acres) of thriving wilderness. Today, cheetah sprint across open grassland and black rhino browse dense Tamboti thicket. There is a quiet power in seeing a place return to its former glory.
