Phinda Game Reserve
Bush and Beach Experience at an Eco-Award-Winning Reserve
Located in subtropical northern KwaZulu-Natal, close to the azure waters of the Indian Ocean, Phinda Private Game Reserve is an award-winning game reserve spanning 7 distinct ecosystems on a 56,830 acre haven for Africa’s Big Five, threatened wildlife such as cheetah and black rhino, and over 400 species of birds. Phinda’s strong conservation and community involvement roots date to 1991 when 34,6000 acres of degraded farmland were restored to a pristine wildlife reserve ranging from forests to open grassland to coastal. Its proximity to Kwa-Zulu Natal’s fantastic beaches allows guests to experience both expert-led day and night game drives, walking safaris, and canoeing, as well as marine activities like coral reef diving, sea turtle tracking and whale watching.
