DAY 1 – January 20, 2026

Depart from Port Elizabeth with our local representative for the airport where you will check-in for a flight to Durban. Flight is not accompanied.

At the airport you will be met and transferred to Phinda Private Game Reserve (4-4.5 hrs.) where you will then board 4x4 vehicles that will take you to Phinda Forest Lodge.

Enjoy a welcome drink while checking in after which you will lunch and then some time to settle into your accommodations.

The spectacular Forest Lodge is set deep in the heart of a rare and beautiful dry sand forest. The eco-sensitive structures of the lodge are inventively designed in Zulu Zen style and the glass walls of Phinda Forest Lodge’s air-conditioned suites offer a sweeping view of one of the most unique ecosystems on the planet. The spectacular suites are cradled in an ambient forest of ancient vegetation, each with their own veranda, they are positioned to ensure complete privacy. Each suite has an outdoor shower and plunge pool, allowing you to savor the outdoors and the fresh mountain air.

Set out for a sunset game drive. This is one of the prime times to view wildlife, as it’s cooler and the animals are more active. While there is no telling what you will observe, the reserve is home to countless animals, including the Big Five: elephant, lion, leopard, rhinoceros, and Cape buffalo. Herds of elephants are often seen meandering through the fever tree forests, while white rhinoceroses are usually found grazing on the grassland.

Following the game drive, sundowners and light snacks will be served at a clearing in the bush, where you might see nocturnal wildlife. In time, you will return to the lodge for dinner and to spend the evening.

DAY 2 – January 21, 2026

Each day begins with an early-morning wakeup call, followed by tea, coffee and biscuits in the lounge. This too is an ideal time for wildlife viewing. As before, you will head into the bush in an open-topped 4x4 vehicle, accompanied by knowledgeable rangers and trackers who are skilled at pointing out the various animals.

You may catch sight of a shy red duiker grazing on fallen leaves and fruit. The elegant nyala antelope is seen even more frequently, as Phinda boasts one of the highest densities of the species. The male nyala has a dark brown coat, yellow legs and shaggy mane, making it particularly spectacular. The female nyala features a less flashy, but no less beautiful chestnut coat. Of course, the Big Five always command attention and they are abundant.

Following your game drive, you will return to the lodge for breakfast and then lunch, each followed by leisure time to perhaps take a nap or maybe relax around the rim flow pool that overlooks a small waterhole. Enjoy an in-room massage treatment or participate in one of the optional activities provided by the lodge.

Optional activities may include bush walks, cultural excursions, conservation experiences, scuba safaris and specialist safaris such as birding, photographic, tracking, luxury walking safaris (additional expenses may apply for spa and optional activities and space must be reserved and paid for at the lodge)

Following another late afternoon game drive, return to the lodge for dinner and to spend the evening.

All nine detached suites can sleep a maximum of 2 adults per suite and include features such as indoor and outdoor shower facilities, bird-spotting scope and a private plunge pool with deck.

Upon arriving at the reserve, check-in at Eagles Crag

Thereafter you will be shown to your rooms for free time to freshen up.

Rejoin in the communal area for high tea and then embark on an afternoon open vehicle game drive. Qualified game rangers will guide you through the bush. Late afternoon is one of the prime times to view wildlife, as it is cooler, and the animals are more active. While there is no telling what you will observe, the reserve is home to countless animals, including the Big Five: elephant, lion, leopard, rhinoceros and Cape buffalo.

Following the game drive, return to the lodge where dinner will be served, allowing you to discuss your evening’s adventures over some South African cuisine and a glass of wine.

Day 2

This morning you will be woken before sunrise. Meet in the reception area for hot beverages, before departing with the rising sun on an early morning game drive. For comfort, it’s always advisable to bring warm clothing, even in the mid-summer, which in South Africa is this time of the year.

Head into the bush in an open-sided 4x4 vehicle, accompanied by knowledgeable rangers and trackers who are skilled at pointing out the various animals.

The reserve sprawls over 60,000 acres of reclaimed Eastern Cape terrain that supports a huge variety of wildlife. You may catch sight of zebras grazing in the grassland, massive hippos wallowing in the mud flats, or herds of antelopes gracefully bounding across the fields. Giraffes often come right up to the vehicles out of curiosity. If you are a bird-lover, you will delight in the chance to see raptors, water birds and unusual ant-eating chats probing the termite mounds. Of course, the Big Five always command attention and they are abundant.

Upon your return, breakfast will be served followed by some free time and then lunch.

In the late afternoon you will re-group for afternoon tea followed by your open-vehicle game drive.

Enjoy drinks and snacks in the bush at sundown before returning to the lodge for dinner.

Day 3

This morning, enjoy one last game drive and then return to the lodge for breakfast before packing your belongings and checking out.

You will be met at the lodge and transferred by coach to the Port Elizabeth Airport for your flight to Richards Bay. Upon arrival in Richards Bay, you will be met and transferred to the Harbor where you will re-join the ship. Drive time is approximately 2 hours.
