‘Phinda’ is a Zulu word meaning ‘return’, and Phinda is a place where lion, hippo, elephant, buffalo, leopard, cheetah, giraffe, nyala antelope and many other animals have been relocated in one of the largest ever animal resettlement programmes. The reserve is also home to 400 species of bird.

Phinda can boast with a broad range of various habitat. Its varied area with mountains, grassland, forest, bushveld and marshes is the perfect home not only to the infamous Big Five but also to many other species. Phinda's rhino population is particularly remarkable; read more about the rhino relocation from Phinda to the Okavango Delta, where we were able to finance two of the relocated rhinos (www.swissafrican-foundation.com).
