&Beyond Phinda Mountain Lodge is very well equipped for families, it has an exclusive family suite accommodating an additional 4 children under the age of 16. This also allows for exclusive use of a safari vehicle, drives can therefore be tailored for the shorter attention span of younger children. 

The lodge is also able to accommodate a small number of triple rooms should the family suite not be available. When not staying in the family suite, game drives are available to children aged 12 and over. Children aged 6-12 can participate in game drives at the manager's discretion. Childminders can be organised at an additional cost.  

The lodge also features the WILDChild programme, which involves fun interactive activities to enjoy and learn from. Each child will receive a WILDChild bag filled with goodies and a personalised note, with those under the age of 3 receiving a soft toy too.
