Phinda Game Reserve, located between the azure waters of the Indian Ocean and the lush waterways of the Greater Saint Lucia Wetland Park, is one of the most exciting safari destinations in Africa. Come face-to-face with lions and rhino after breakfast, and up close to a whale shark or battling sailfish after lunch.
