Rooms

Suite

Phinda Forest Lodge has 16 air-conditioned glass chalets, raised on stilts and set among forest trees. The luxurious chalets' classic Japanese minimalist architecture enhances the tranquility of the forest setting, and the overall effect is absolute privacy. Small bucks like nyala and shy duiker can occasionally be seen nibbling leaves in camp.

Each spacious chalet comprises a bedroom, lounge, and en suite bathroom with a bath and separate shower. Suites also offer a wooden deck from which to enjoy the wrap-around forest views.

Facilities

Phinda Forest Lodge offers its guests excellent facilities to ensure a comfortable and indulgent stay.

The main lodge sits in an ideal position to enjoy the great views - the central dining area, lounge, and swimming pool overlook the wetland pan and offer a great place to spend an afternoon sitting back and relaxing as you watch the wildlife come and go.

The lodge offers a compact and ingenious 'Gym in a Bag' for those who want to knock off a workout or two in the privacy of their own rooms or decks. A business center is also available.

Dining

Phinda Forest Lodge will treat you to spicy Pan-African cuisine which can be taken on the deck overlooking the grasslands or around the fire in the boma.

The lodge's renowned bush banquets include breakfast and dinner and are enjoyed in a beautiful forest clearing.
