Indulge in the ultimate African experience - the luxury of owning a home in the midst of pristine bushveld without any of the hassle associated with running it! Created in partnership with Tara Getty, &Beyond's African Homesteads are 15 exclusive, private luxury homes available for long-term lease in the beautiful and diverse Phinda Private Game Reserve.

Enjoy an exceptional location within the seven habitats of Phinda, bordering a World Heritage Site where the St Lucia wetlands meet the lush bushveld of KwaZulu-Natal. Fully managed and maintained by &Beyond, only 15 African Homesteads are being created within this pristine 23 000 hectare (56 800 acre) reserve.

Designed as an exclusive retreat for owners to share with family and friends, each luxurious homestead spans over 800 sq metres (8 600 sq feet) and features four large suites with beautifully appointed bathrooms built around spacious indoor and outdoor living areas. Expansive wooden verandas and a large crystal infinity pool at each homestead offer magnificent views of the African bushveld.

Each Homestead has a dedicated teams of staff looking after all its needs. Among others, the team includes a ranger / tracker combination, a host and a private chef. Each African Homestead has a fully equipped open 4x4 safari vehicle for unrestricted game drives in the reserve. Homestead owners also have the opportunity to participate in spotlit safaris, rhino darting, leopard tracking, expert birdwatching and visits to the nearby Maputaland coastline, whose diving sites rival even the Great Barrier Reef.

Although each African Homestead has a carefully planned architectural footprint and will be crafted out of local materials, the design is flexible even to accommodate your personal touch. While &Beyond's experienced and celebrated design team will manage the project, buyers are welcome to nominate their personal architects or interior designer to help create the ultimate African home.
