Nestled in the heart of Kwazulu-Natal, the accommodations of &Beyond Phinda Vlei Lodge offer guests the extraordinary ability to experience the savanna and bush of South Africa from a unique perspective. The understated class and privacy allow you to reconnect with nature and your loved ones and encounter the uninhibited wildlife and local culture.

The private villa provides a comfortable retreat as you explore the vast surroundings. The genuine hospitality and outstanding service ensure that you long for nothing. The villa is well equipped for groups and families and includes the services of a private butler and personal chef to attend to all your needs. The pool offers a welcome reprieve from the heat, and the health facility guarantees that your regular workout routines can continue uninterrupted.

The reserve is home to seven distinct ecosystems and a plethora of endangered animal and plant species. Thanks to the extensive efforts to protect and reintroduce many of these species to their natural habitat, you can enjoy a wildlife excursion with an expert guide. This is one of the only places on Earth where you can observe many endangered species such as cheetahs and rhinoceroses in their natural habitat. Due to the conservation efforts in the area, you also have a high probability of encountering other animals such as lions, leopards, antelope, and a plethora of birds. Besides private game drives, you can also enjoy a leisurely Mzinene River cruise, world-class diving, observe turtle nesting habits, swim with whale sharks, or visit a local Zulu village where you can learn about the native people and culture.
