Phinda-Munyawana

The most prestigious of all the KZN private game reserves and the one that started it all when the pioneering Big 5 Phinda reserve opened back in 1991 with excellent lodges operated by andBeyond. It has subsequently expanded, with other reserves like Zuka joining, to form the 31 000 hectare Munyawana conservancy - the game viewing here is superb with cheetah an exciting speciality!
