All the central guest areas, including the lounge and dining areas, have spectacular views of the reserve’s grasslands and the majestic Lebombo Mountains.
In the winter, a cosy fire is a feature of the lounge while beautiful sunsets can be enjoyed on the west-facing outside deck.
In summer you can spend your days relaxing in and around the swimming pool between game-viewing activities though more active guests may want to also make use of their room’s ‘Gym in a Bag’.

This is where my husband chose to propose so it will always be a magical and very romantic place for me! That aside, Phinda is well known to boast one of the most beautifully diverse landscapes in Africa, with great game viewing to match. Staying at Rock Lodge with its unique setting on a rocky outcrop, featuring outdoor showers and plunge pools will be a spoil for any couple.

Rock Lodge was wonderful, although they tried their best to over feed us! The room was stunning and we had some great game drives.

Phinda was truly a once in a lifetime experience – Rock Lodge was 5 star in our book! The service from the staff was beyond anything we could have expected and the game drives were spectacular. Our guides were excellent and we saw every animal imaginable.
