Phinda Mountain Lodge

With wrap-around views of the spectacular Ubombo Mountains and the South African bushveld below, Mountain Lodge is set apart from other safari lodges due to its dramatic location.

Mountain Lodge offers:
20 air-conditioned suites
Private sitting room and en suite bathroom
Great family safari destination
Shaded swimming pool with spectacular game-viewing deck
African craft gallery
A well-equipped conference room (maximum of 70 guests)

Observe the serenity of the South African wilderness from your private deck, surrounded by the indigenous trees and shrubbery of the pristine Zululand bushveld.

Each suite features a comfortable sitting area below the large beds.

Paved pathways lead down the mountainside from the main guest areas to the spacious suites – a subtly executed blend of avant-garde and ethnic design.

Delicious Pan-African cuisine is enjoyed in the dramatic boma (outdoor dining area) illuminated by dozens of candles and lanterns, or served to you in a spectacular clearing in the bush under a star-studded sky.

Phinda is renowned for wonderful bush banqueting in surprising settings.
