This
private game reserve was formed about 10 years
ago along the borders of Greater St Lucia Wetland
Park - one of Africa's most ecologically diverse
regions. Farmland was restored back to its natural
habitats and stocked with big game animals.
Seven
different eco systems exist on the reserve
including forest and coastal, and its variety
renders it perfect for an escape of luxury
and adventure. Conservation Corporation Africa
has built four private lodges in the reserve,
each in its own environment with differing
qualities. This venture not only supports
animals but also improves employment, education
and health facilities in the local communities.

| You
can catch a glimpse of Zulu life, past and present
by visiting a traditional cultural village aligned
to the Phinda reserve.
ANIMALS
& ACTIVITIES
In
addition to vehicle game viewing where leopards
are often seen?- is this true? , you can also
go rhino tracking on foot in this reserve. There
is also the opportunity to watch turtles laying
their eggs on a remote beach and to dive amongst
them on the coral reefs. Hippos inhabit the
ancient waterways and canoeing past them can
be quite a thrill. Even horse riding is an option
here. |
