Identify tracks and insects, birdwatch, and learn more about Phinda’s diverse habitats and facinating ecology.
Exceptional game viewing
Whether observing a herd of elephant from a safe distance or tracking rhino, the excitement is never far off. Thrilling evening walks are followed by dramatic night game-drives which reveal the thrilling world of predators on the hunt.
Safety on a Walking Safari is our highest priority
