The reserve also shelters a variety of lodges. The Homestead is an exclusive-use villa with a host, private ranger, butler and chef. Forest Lodge is secluded and exudes a calming atmosphere of Zulu Zen in the heart of the sand forest. Magnificent bushveld views and adventures await at the Mountain Lodge with its warm and welcoming style. There is also Zuka Lodge which is a private getaway set around a popular watering hole. Vlei Lodge is a hidden safari retreat perfectly integrated into the African bush. Last but certainly not least there is the glamourous and intimate Rock Lodge dramatically set into a cliff face with suites that are seemingly suspended over the valley below. Wherever you go, excellent sightings and photographic opportunities are guaranteed while a Seasonal Turtle Nesting Adventure, Zulu Village Tour and a Maputaland Beach Adventure add to this wildlife destination’s appeal. The WILDchild programme, designed especially for children, is filled with fun, interactive activities that offer opportunities to learn and discover new experiences and cultures. Phinda, also referred to as the Seven Worlds of Wonder, shares a border with the extraordinary iSimangaliso Wetland Park.
