Set deep in the heart of the rare Dry Sand Forest, the 20 spectacular stilted suites of the award-winning Phinda Forest Lodge are an exemplary exercise in building eco-sensitive structures with a light footprint.

Wake up to the sight of graceful nyala and duiker browsing in the foliage of the Sand Forest right outside the glass walls of your private suite. Inventively designed in what is often called "Zulu-Zen", each suite at the Phinda Forest Lodge is a combination of glass, wood and minimalist design incorporating high-gloss wooden floors and crimson Zulu artefacts.

Delicious Pan-African cuisine is served to you on the deck at Phinda Forest Lodge, overlooking the grassy plains or in the boma (outdoor dining area) illuminated by dozens of candles and lanterns. Enjoy adventurous breakfasts and romantic dinners in spectacular African safari locations.
