Why we love it
Elegant and serene, the gracious spaces of &Beyond Phinda Vlei Lodge are designed for quiet contemplation of the African bush. With each suites deck opening up onto a dazzling view of the clearing beyond, combine your game viewing with a refreshing dip in your private plunge pool, but be prepared to share it with a thirsty elephant or impala!
Each suite boasts not only a private sitting area and en-suite bathroom, but also a dressing room and game viewing deck, so you may not ever want to leave, even for meals. Not that you
will have to – private dining in your suite can be arranged, as can more social meals on the dining deck or even on the edge of the Vlei. On clear, cold winter nights keep the chill at bay in front of a roaring fire in the sitting room before retiring to the comfort of a warm bed.
With each suite carefully positioned for a prime view of the animals coming out to drink and panoramic vistas from even your shower or bathtub, the game viewing never stops!
Set off from the Mountain Lodge in the early morning and late afternoon to discover Phinda's exceptional variety of wildlife, including the Big Five.
Join the conservation team to learn and be a part of the efforts of the Phinda Reserve to preserve endangered animals like the pangolin and elephant.
Photographic enthusiasts can now capture the wondrous landscapes and magical creatures of andBeyond’s Phinda by taking advantage of a fully-equipped photographic safari vehicle.
Relax during one of Phinda Mountain Lodge's unique massage experiences, such as the Earth Glow body polish and wrap, or simply unwind in the rim flow pool overlooking the Lebombo Foothills.
Track and find the black rhino on foot, and learn about this endangered creature from an experienced guide and tracker.
Travel with the specialist conservation team as they locate the pangolin, replace the GSM/UHF tag, do general health checks, and gather crucial data.
Enjoy an interpretive nature walk around the Mountain Lodge, where you can learn about the intricacies of the African bush, track animals on foot and meet smaller wildlife up close.
Experience a unique dining experience under a star studded sky in the traditional stone and reed Boma.

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!
