Why we love it
Situated in the north of the reserve, &Beyond Phinda Homestead is a gracious sole-use safari villa that blends seamlessly into the surrounding trees and bush.

Beds are positioned to face the waking bush but there’s no need to jump out of bed early – with a dedicated game ranger and tracker, as well as a private game drive vehicle, you set your own game drive times!
A focus on stylish comfort, coupled with genuine hospitality from your personal chef and butler, will have you feeling at ease in this private villa. An interactive kitchen awaits your instructions, whether its the simple joy of having your
favourite meals prepared for you or the pure pleasure of being surprised at meal time. Enjoy meals shared with special people around a spacious table or savour a delectable picnic on an extended game drive.
While away a quiet afternoon drinking in the views from the open viewing decks or give in to the seduction of plump cushions around the sparkling swimming pool.

Absolutely amazing holiday. Garonga is heaven! We did everything possible and our guide was brilliant and hilarious. I can definitely recommend True Travel for their excellent advice and professionalism – they clearly are very knowledgeable about where they send their clients and made sure we had a worry-free holiday that perfectly suited us. We were particular grateful for the collection off our flight and help onto our transfer in Johannesburg, which included a very nifty queue jump due to their reputation!
