All of &Beyond's Phinda lodges are in different locations, and Phinda Rock Lodge is no exception. Here, six Mexican adobe-style buildings perch dramatically on a rocky cliff, each completely private with world-class accommodation. Guests have exclusive views across the lush bushveld vegetation in the valley below and the wildlife that roams the untamed surrounding slopes. This is Big Five country, with lots to see, from the largest mammals to the smallest antelope, and good birding. Explore on game drives, foot safaris or seasonally by boat, track black rhino or see Africa's wild cats up close at a rehabilitation centre.

Stay in the definitive room with a view! With only six suites dotted across the hilltop, Phinda Rock Lodge proffers both romantic and super-private accommodation.

En-suite bathrooms have both showers and baths, and some rooms also have an outdoor shower. Seclusion of this magnitude is so rare you may never want to leave your room.
