It’s a dream come true for wildlife lovers for they can now reside alongside the breathtaking beauty of the African Wilderness and yet be in perfect harmony with Mother Nature.

Private game reserve owner, Tara Getty and highly acclaimed luxury lodge operator, andBEYOND has ingeniously put together a luxurious safari home within a world-renowned, Big Five private game reserve.

The joint venture consists of fifteen exclusive African Homesteads situated in South Africa’s exceptional 56,800-acre Phinda Private Game Reserve. The architecture is mindfully crafted to complement the lush greeneries surrounding it.

The first African Homestead show house will debut with modern-chic, safari-inspired designs by prominent safari lodge architect, Nick Plewman and andBEYOND’s very own Chris Browne. Plewman works his designs around nature’s rustic charm, while Browne brings out the local Zulu element by weaving it into his contemporary and quirky style.

Sprawling over an area of more than 8,600-square feet, each homestead has four spacious bedroom suites, one ensuite bedroom, and bathrooms indoor and outdoor. Stunning panoramic views, which range from the untamed wilderness to the water features that frame the exercise pavilion, make this a perfect private retreat for the entire family.

With a price tag that starts from US$6 million, each homestead is offered on a 72-year leasehold. Prospective owners can work with the design team to customize their personal African getaway.

The project is fully managed and maintained by andBEYOND, who will see to it that a professional team ensemble including a ranger/tracker team, homestead host, chef and homestead team, is on hand to maximize your Safari experience.
