Take leave of the normal world and head to a stunning eco-system in the heart of South Africa’s KwaZulu-Natal. The Phinda Forest Lodge is a safari experience like never before, located within the incredibly rare sandforest. And we just love it – so much so that we’re already planning our fourth visit! Here, glass suites with 360 degree views stand on stilts under the canopy of the great torchwood trees. You feel as if you’re floating between sand and sky as floor-to-ceiling windows bring the full beauty of nature straight to you. Out on the plains, the scented Podthorn is a favourite giraffe snack – its warm heady aroma wafting on the breeze when they’re munching has inspired a future T London blend – watch this space! After a long day’s game viewing, the hardest decision is whether to join in the magnificent barbecues in the boma or simply relax in your uber peaceful, private haven
