Phinda Forest Lodge is built in the unique and rare sand forest habitat within the 70,560 acre Phinda Game Reserve in the KwaZulu-Natal Province of South Africa.


Guests may enjoy a wide variety of intimate wildlife viewing experiences including twice-daily game drives, bush walks, Zulu village tours, nighttime turtle drives offered seasonally, scuba and ocean safaris, black rhino tracking on foot, and conservation experiences with Cheetah, Rhino, Lion, and Nyala.


The Phinda Game Reserve has a remarkable complexity of habitats that include woodland, grassland, wetland, forest, mountain, marsh, and river, and is home to the Big Five (lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo, and the rare black rhino) and more than 430 different bird species.

Secluded air-conditioned guest suites are constructed of floor-to-ceiling glass and timber in a style referred to as Zulu Zen. Suites are raised on stilts between the forest floor and the tree canopy, offering privacy with sweeping views through the forest. Lodge amenities include an infinity pool overlooking the forest, an interactive dining experience, a safari shop, open air dining, and wifi.

Client Testimonials

"Our honeymoon was definitely the trip of a lifetime and one we will never forget. Thanks so much for making it perfect."
Cindy Chupack, Producer Sex and the City
"We enjoyed this fourth trip to Africa more than any we have made. Singita was beyond anything we have seen before. The service and the setting were incomparable. At Singita we would sit on the balcony and we saw elephants, baboons, impala, the big monitor lizards and in the morning we left two leopards walked across the river. We are so appreciative for all you have done for us and for the wonderful job you always do."
James B. Holloway, Jr. M.D.
"Thanks to the knowledge and professional staff of High Adventure Safaris our dream of a photo safari in Kruger National Park became a reality. From the moment we landed in Cape Town to our departure from Johannesburg, every detail of the agenda exceeded our expectations. The whole trip was an incredible experience from the five star safari lodges, delicious food, excellent service and above all the life changing experience of viewing first hand the magic of the animal kingdom."
James E. Bassett III, President Keeneland Association Inc.
"Thank you for a superb job of planning and organizing as everything went smoothly. The country of South Africa so captivated me that my husband and I are already planning a return trip next summer. The only thing to rival the bush and animals was the food. The experience of South Africa is like no other and its effect is difficult to express. I can only encourage others to make the venture."
Laurel J. Snelling, Physician Assistant Associates PLLC.
"I've been traveling all over the world for twenty years, but my trip this month to Africa put together by your firm was the smoothest and best planned trip I've ever made. The various places we stayed were outstanding and the uniqueness of each location added to the charm and atmosphere of the trip. The service I received from the guides, drivers and hotel attendants made me feel like royalty. The most impressive part was how smooth everything worked. Thanks again for your hard work, dedication and professionalism. I look forward to another trip with you."
