Adventure awaits ... right on Africa's doorstep. &Beyond features a wide range of unique, adrenaline-infused specialist safaris for the adventurous spirit.

Play an important role in conservation by participating in the Rhino Darting @ Phinda programme. Join a specialised team that will track and dart a rhino, then help perform various tasks right alongside the veterinary team. Predator fanatics can partake in the Carnivore Research @ Kwandwe programme, and learn about the exciting ongoing carnivore research taking place, and track the Reserve's resident lion, cheetah, leopard and African Wild Dog with a specialised team. Offering a slightly more relaxed pace, bird buffs can attempt to spot as many of Phinda Private Game Reserve's 407 recorded bird species on the Birding @ Phinda specialist safari.

Budding photographers can benefit from the use of a private vehicle and personal ranger and tracker team on the Photographic Safaris, offered at all &Beyond lodges. The team will track whatever wildlife that features in the photographer's personal checklist. Exhilarating Walking Safaris, offered at both Phinda and Ngala Private Game Reserves, take the more active adventure seekers deep into the heart of the bush, exploring the African wilderness on foot. Nothing can compare to the intimate bush encounters, where sights and sounds are heightened, and adrenaline takes over as a specialised team introduces Africa's diverse flora and fauna.

"Guests should definitely come to Phinda and book a Specialist Safari because the diversity here and in the Maputaland is unrivalled anywhere else! There are not many places in the world where guests can go diving with Whale Sharks at one of the top dive sites in the world and then go on to see Lions and Leopards - all in one day! Once they have done a Specialist Safari they will never be able to do a normal Safari again - it's simply mind-blowing!" - Daryl Dell, Specialist Safari Guide, Phinda
