OVERVIEW
The Homestead opens up a safari world that’s tailored to your interests. With a private chef, vehicle and guide, you can opt to spend the day tracking lion, head to the Maputaland coast for ocean activities or have the fun of fly-camping under the stars. Add nature walks and the chance to be involved in special conservation activities for elephant, rhino or pangolin and you might never actually have a spare moment to work out in the private gym or have a massage…
Phinda Private Game Reserve spans several types of habitat, including a rare sand forest. As a villa guest, you and your family can choose exactly which to explore – don’t forget the Swarovski Optik binoculars from your room!
