About
Safari home in the heart of the rare sand forest
Cradled on the edge of a rare sand forest in the north of &Beyond Phinda Private Game Reserve, &Beyond Phinda Homestead is a sole-use villa designed for complete ease and quiet confidence. Here, your dedicated team—ranger, tracker, chef, butler and host—shapes every moment around your pace and preferences.
Spacious interiors blend contemporary elegance with the warmth of a family home. An interactive kitchen invites shared stories over every meal. Between game drives, the private gym, spa and pool offer space to unwind, while four ensuite bedrooms open to views worth waking early for. Encircled by 29,866 hectares (73,800 acres) of protected wilderness, rich in cheetah, black rhino and Big Five encounters, this is where the rare roam and the well-travelled rest.
