Phinda Forest Lodge’s sister property is an exclusive-use villa for up to 8 guests located within 29,866-hectares of private concession. A stay here means that you’ll have a dedicated vehicle, ranger, tracker, butler, chef, and safari host.

You’ll be able to traverse 7 distinct habitats, opening up expansive landscapes and exclusive game sightings. The Big Five are residents, with the area especially renowned for its large populations of cheetah and black rhino. You might also spot suni and red duiker – two tiny antelope that are seldom encountered elsewhere.

Fully personalised, your day is completely tailored to your preferences. The Homestead features 4 ensuite suites with indoor and outdoor showers  on either side of an expansive lounge, dining room, and interactive kitchen – with homecooked meals prepared in front of your our eyes.

In-between game drives, unwind by the large rim-flow pool, where you might spot thirsty elephants coming up to sip water. You can also work out at the well-equipped gym or relax with a Healing Earth spa treatment in the massage sala. After your evening game drive, enjoy a pan-African al fresco dinner under the stars around the blazing fire in the lodge’s traditional boma.
