Phinda Forest Lodge

an extraordinarily wide range of activities

Phinda Forest Lodge is located in the Phinda Mkhuze area of KwaZulu Natal in South Africa.

The property is owned by AndBeyond, one of the premium safari operators in Africa.

Set in a forested location, the lodge is centred on a cluster of modern main buildings, with cosy lounge and dining areas, leading out to decks and a swimming pool area. There is also a spa and a gym.

Rooms

Guest accommodation at Phinda Forest Lodge is in sixteen extensive modern suite rooms, each with an indoor bathroom and a verandah.

Activities

Phinda Forest Lodge provides access to the following activities, most of which are usually included in the room rate …

• Vehicle safari
• Walking safari
• Night vehicle safari
• Motorboat safari
• Canoe safari
• Village visits
• Day trips to the coast for diving and snorkelling.

The Phinda Mkhuze area tends to feature relatively rarely in trips, mainly because it has to compete with the better known and much larger safari areas of southern Africa. The only real reasons to come here are because you are already in the KwaZulu Natal area or you specifically want safari and beach activities in the same location.

The usual stay duration is 3-6 nights.

Seasonality

The best time to visit the Phinda Mkhuze area is during the May-Sep cool dry season.

The converse season is hotter and experiences higher rainfall, but may still be worth considering.
