Phinda Private Game Reserve is located between the white sands of the Indian Ocean and the Greater Saint Lucia Wetland Park, recently declared by UNESCO World Heritage Site. Within the private park there are six individual lodges, each one the very maximum in luxury and each differing from the other in both layout and position. Phinda Rock Lodge possesses 6 spacious suites and sumptuous bathrooms carved into a precipice, overlooking the spectacular Leopard Rock. From the private terrace and indeed from the swimming pool within each suite, guests are rewarded with a series of breathtaking panoramic views over the whole plain.
Cocktails prepared from the private bar within each suite simply add to the effect. Meals are prepared according to the traditions of pan-African cuisine. The food is served entirely at the guests discretion, either in the privacy of their own suite or in the dining room of the lodge. Exploring the abundant animal life and nature round about is the highlight of each day.
