Phinda Vlei Lodge
Phinda Vlei Lodge is a sophisticated African safari lodge which fringes on Phinda’s unique vlei (wetland) system. This gracious safari lodge in the Phinda Private game reserve is a study of intimacy and integration with the African bush. The stilted suites are constructed of glass and thatch in the rare Dry Sand Forest. Each suite features an en-suite bathroom with twin hand basins, bath, separate shower and separate w.c. All suites have a personal bar on the deck and private plunge pools.

The atmosphere is exclusive and personal, a mixture of understated sophistication and sheer luxury.
