Phinda Private Game Reserve
Distance
Itinerary At Phinda, seven distinct habitats host abundant wildlife, including Africa's Big Five - lion, leopard, elephant, rhino, and Cape buffalo - and over 380 bird species. At the same time, the marine diversity along the nearby coast of Sodwana is said to rival Australia's Great Barrier Reef. This northern part of Zululand was once a wild and unexplored place, a hunting ground to successive Zulu kings and teeming with wildlife of every description, including many rarer and less easily encountered species such as the cheetah, black rhino, nyala, and red duiker.
Guests spend three nights at Phinda Vlei Lodge on a full-board basis. Your stay includes three meals daily, soft drinks, house wines, local brand spirits and beers, teas, and coffees, refreshments on game drives, laundry, and one-hour nature walks guided by experienced armed trackers (subject to availability). Emergency medical evacuation insurance is also included. Two game drives are included daily and are conducted by a professional ranger and tracker. Game drives occur during periods of increased activity - the early morning, late afternoon, and evening. The remainder of your day may be spent enjoying the creature comforts of your luxurious accommodations.

After a last morning activity at Phinda, you'll say goodbye to your hosts as your transfer arrives. Traveling north, you'll embark on an adventurous journey towards the southern Mozambican border with South Africa, passing through the large tribal lands of northern KwaZulu-Natal. After clearing immigration at Kosi Bay, you'll be warmly welcomed by the White Pearl Resorts team, who'll transfer you to the last stretch of the lodge along the sandy 4x4 road. You'll arrive in Ponta Mamoli around lunchtime and be assisted with check-in.
White Pearl offers the ultimate beach luxury in Southern Africa. Experience elegant simplicity at this exclusive resort, set in the dunes along the pristine shores of southern Mozambique and located along a magnificent stretch of coastline. Surrounded by untouched tracts of bush and casuarina trees and warmed by the Indian Ocean current moving south from the equator, White Pearl's clear waters and subtropical climate offer honeymooners an enticing beachside escape. During your stay, you'll enjoy luxurious accommodations and three mouth-watering meals daily, as well as various activities included in your stay (see below).
