An African Safari is an experience of a lifetime, and there is so much on offer at &Beyond Phinda Private Game Reserve – from twice-daily game drives, where you have the opportunity to encounter some of South Africa’s most prized wildlife, to unique infrared night safaris offering incredible after-dark drives that allow you to not only see nocturnal species usually hidden in the shadows but to see them up close and in clear view without intruding in any way.  Phinda, encompasses an impressive 28 555 hectares (70 560 acres) of protected wildlife land in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa.
Showcasing one of the continent’s finest game viewing experiences, &Beyond Phinda is home to Africa’s Big Five (lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo and rhino), as well as 436 bird species. The reserve is particularly well known for close-up sightings of the elegant yet elusive cheetah, as well as the rare black rhino.  With its seven distinct habitats, Phinda is often described as ‘Seven Worlds of Wonder’, a magnificent tapestry of woodland, grassland, wetland and forest, interspersed with mountain ranges, rivers, marshes and pans. Home to 1 000 hectares (2471 acres) of Africa’s remaining rare dry sand forest, the reserve is situated in close proximity to the unspoiled beaches and spectacular coral reefs of the Indian Ocean, offering an unmatched combination of bush and beach adventures.

Happy Customer Testimonials
My daughter and I travelled to Vietnam Aug 2026 for her birthday, visiting three cities, and it was honestly the best vacation of our lives! 🇻🇳❤️ From the very beginning,i mean from quotation.. Simone Schoonberg was amazing. She organised everything for us — airport transfers, domestic flights, amazing accommodation, and even added our Ha Long Bay cruise without any hassle, just 3 letters WOW Everything was perfectly organised and our transport was always on time. The iGo app was also fantastic! Having our full itinerary, travel documents, and all the important details in one place felt like having a tour guide in our pockets! 👌🏾 I’ve used different travel agencies before, but this experience was truly one of the BEST. I had some doubts at first because it was my first time using IGO Travel, but we had an absolute blast! We smiled and enjoyed every moment of those two weeks in Vietnam. What a blessing! ❤️ In fact, it was so hard when we had to come back home. Simone, Simone my dear you are the best! Thank you for making my daughter’s birthday trip so special and memorable one.I wish you all the best in your career! ❤️✈️🇻🇳

I was travelling to Thailand for the 1st time and the experience I had booking my trip with iGo travel was nothing short of amazing. From the time I requested a quotation, I dealt with Simone Schoonberg. She sent me different options and I changed my mind after I selected a package, she went and reqouted. Every thing was seamless, the iGo app with your full itenerary was the biggest highlight, copies of all our documents were there and details of where we need to be, and what time we needed to be there, it's like we had a tour guide in our pockets 👌🏾 P.S no one I know personally recommended this agency, I just went with the reviews, and it was the best experience.
