Today is the first day guests will check in to the new sole-use safari villa, The Homestead, at &Beyond Phinda Private Game Reserve in KswaZulu-Natal, South Africa.

If you’ve got a family of eight or a group of friends, this four suite villa—with its dedicated staff, including a private ranger, tracker, butler, and private chef—may be the perfect spot to mix elegant accommodations and high-quality game drives.

You’ll have exclusive use of an open 4×4 safari vehicle and that means you can go on game drives whenever you wish—day or night. When you’re not out in the bush, you’ll enjoy lounging by the infinity pool, exercising in the gym, or relaxing in the beautiful public areas of The Homestead.

Rates during low season are approximately $3,300 per night for up to four guests or $4,700 per night for five to eight guests. Rates rise in high season.

&Beyond, formerly CC Africa, owns and operates 46 luxury lodges and camps and creates personalized travel experiences in South Africa, Namibia, Zimbabwe, Botswana, Tanzania, Kenya, and India.
