Lodge Overview
The designers of Phinda Forest Lodge have created a calming atmosphere of Zulu Zen. And there’s no need to worry about the privacy of a retreat here – in spite of the floor to ceiling glass walls, the towering torchwood trees and fertile forest floor that surround the suites ensure a sense of seclusion. Set in rare and beautiful sand forest, the glass walls of Phinda Forest Lodge offer a sweeping view of one of the most unique ecosystems on the planet. Phinda Forest Lodge is one of the world’s first eco-designed luxury lodges. Floor to ceiling windows invite the forest in but the dense canopy provides privacy. The dainty forms of dwarf forest antelope dart among and below the suites, raised on stilts to float between the sandy forest floor and the leafy canopy above. Waking up to rustling forest sounds and bird song, surrounded by delicate leaf-filtered light, a pervading sense of peace and calm will set the tone for the entire day.
