Set on a rocky hillock overlooking a nearby cliff face in the beautiful Phinda Private Game Reserve, Phinda Rock Lodge delivers an exclusive safari experience and is perfect for honeymooners and romantics.

This is where my husband chose to propose so it will always be a magical and very romantic place for me! That aside, Phinda is well known to boast one of the most beautifully diverse landscapes in Africa, with great game viewing to match. Staying at Rock Lodge with its unique setting on a rocky outcrop, featuring outdoor showers and plunge pools will be a spoil for any couple.

Rooms

Suite

Phinda Rock Lodge has just six suites, each with a large bedroom and en suite bathroom including a bathtub and shower - some of the rooms have outdoor showers where you can shower with a view or under the stars!

Each suite - suspended from the edge of the rocky cliff - has its own private lounge, deck, and plunge pool, and is incredibly spacious with fantastic views.

Facilities

Phinda Rock Lodge offers excellent facilities to ensure an exclusive and luxurious stay.

All the central guest areas, including the lounge and dining areas, have spectacular views of the reserve's grasslands and the majestic Lebombo Mountains.

In the winter, a cosy fire is a feature of the lounge while beautiful sunsets can be enjoyed on the west-facing outside deck.

In summer you can spend your days relaxing in and around the swimming pool between game-viewing activities though more active guests may want to also make use of their room's 'Gym in a Bag'.

Dining

Dinner at Phinda Rock Lodge is a Pan-African banquet. It can be served in the dining room where you will dine under wrought iron lanterns next to an open fireplace.

In good weather, a bush dinner is prepared where you can dine under the starlit sky.

Phinda is also renowned for its occasional bush breakfasts, sometimes served with an elegant flourish after a morning game drive.
