Phinda Forest Lodge

 

Set deep in the heart of the rare Dry Sand Forest, the spectacular stilted suites of the award-winning Phinda Forest Lodge are an exemplary exercise in building eco-sensitive structures with a light footprint.

Phinda Forest Lodge offers:
16 spacious, hand-built glass-encased suites
All with air-conditioning
Private viewing decks
Luxurious en suite bathrooms
Sparkling rim-flow swimming pool
Crafts gallery with a range of local Zulu artefacts

Wake up to the sight of graceful nyala and duiker browsing in the foliage of the Sand Forest right outside the glass walls of your private suite.

Inventively designed in what is often called "Zulu-Zen", each suite is a combination of glass, wood and minimalist design incorporating high-gloss wooden floors and crimson Zulu artefacts.

Delicious Pan-African cuisine is served to you on the deck overlooking the grassy plains or in the boma (outdoor dining area) illuminated by dozens of candles and lanterns.

 
 

Accommodation

 

Activities
At first light set off in an open landrover - possibly for a picnic breakfast at a carefully selected site, or for a morning boat cruise on the Mzinene River.

During the heat of the day, you may choose to relax around the secluded pool - or to walk, discovering the many rare creatures and fascinating array of birds and insects that inhabit the forest.

Those with a spirit of adventure may wish to explore the nearby coastline, snorkeling or diving amongst the southernmost coral reefs in the world.

Late afternoon adventures add to the magical experience. As the shadows lengthen, a stop is made for sundowners.

And, after sumptuous dinner in the boma under the moonlight canopy of towering trees, you will fall asleep to the sounds of the living forest.
 

Directions

Phinda neighbors the Greater St Lucia Wetland Park – a World Heritage Site – to the east and is only 30km/19 miles due west of the white-fringed beaches of the Indian Ocean.
