PHINDA PRIVATE GAME RESERVE GUEST STORIES

Tell us about your journey and your thoughts and impressions of Africa.

It is always a pleasure to receive feedback on how the &Beyond experience has touched our guests. For many of them, a life-long love affair with Africa's wide open spaces and its incredible wildlife has started at one of our lodges across the continent. Others have formed lasting friendships with the warm and welcoming &Beyonders they have met on safari. Here is just a sample of the incredible comments we have been receiving from our guests staying at Phinda Private Game Reserve.

Torild Moland Krogsrud - The most magical place

"We absolutely ADORED Phinda. It is the most magical place I have ever been! For us, it was the mix of the wonderful setting in the forest, the great guide, yammi-yammi food, hilarious other guests in the car, and really spectacular sightings. We did the leopard-project, which really just was the most fun ever, crashing through the forest, getting stuck in holes – but at the same time it did not feel like intruding the animals or destroying the forest "

Thompson, Susan And Marcus - The Perfect Wedding

"We visited Forest Lodge for a night in 2007 and fell in love with both the setting and the people. So a few years later, when we were trying to decide where to get married, Phinda was a natural (if a little unusual) choice. We spent 2 nights at Forest Lodge, (9th and 10th May2010), and got married in the afternoon of the second day. From the moment we arrived we were treated like royalty. Absolutely nothing was a problem for Clint and his team. It’s hard to describe our experience in just a few words. In-fact, when asked on our comment forms at the end of our stay, what the best bit was, it was impossible to pick just one. The surprise champagne and fresh waffle stop on our morning game drive? The beautiful decoration of the ceremony location in the middle of the bush? The amazing food? The informative, funny game rangers? The candle-lit bath that was waiting for us on our return from dinner? Every part of our 2-day stay was amazing and combined to make it an experience that we will never forget. "
