AN UNTOUCHED WILDERNESS
The cheetah prowls quietly past, almost under your nose. Luckily, you’re not its quarry, because in a chase over this terrain the cheetah is certainly faster than your 4×4.
African safaris are all about adventure, exploring an untouched wilderness and seeing diverse creatures acting out a natural life-in-the-bush drama in front of you.
And watching a cheetah stalking a herd of bok is certainly dramatic. But not unusual; Phinda is a private game reserve that offers viewing of the Big Five and a high probability of seeing lionesses with their cubs, leopards, white and black rhinos, herds of elephants, large numbers of deer and bok, wildebeest, giraffe, zebra, hippos, hyenas and wild dogs. Not to mention as many as 436 different species of birds.
And, because Phinda is a South African reserve you’ll enjoy luxury and fine dining at the end of the day. Definitely a reason for visiting during your luxury, tailor-made holiday to South Africa.
