AndBeyond Phinda Homestead, the sole-use safari villa at Phinda Private Game Reserve in South Africa's KwaZulu-Natal Province, has reopened following a complete rebuild.
The lodge, which comes with a dedicated ranger, tracker team and safari vehicle, gives guests the rare opportunity to completely personalize their safari experience. Game drive times as well as meals are tailored completely to the guests' preference.
Inspired by the natural surrounding and the local Zulu culture, the new interiors are furnished in clean lines and earthy tones. Traditional Nguni hides, intricate basketwork and colorful crafts, all sourced directly from the local communities, are featured throughout the home, paying homage to the area's proud and vibrant Zulu culture.
An interactive kitchen brings the lodge's private chef into the center of the guest experience, serving up hearty meals prepared at the heart of this comfortable bush home. Flavors and fragrances from the hanging herb garden situated off the front kitchen enhance the fare prepared for guests.
A gym and massage area cater to guest comfort, while a nanny's room is available for child minders or staff traveling with the family.
