Phinda Private Game Reserve, formerly known as Phinda Resource Reserve, is a 170 km2 (66 sq mi) private game reserve situated in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa, between the Mkuze Game Reserve and the iSimangaliso Wetland Park. Phinda has seven distinct ecosystems ranging from palm savannah and mountain bush to rare sand forest and dense thornveld. Designated in 1990, Phinda is derived from a Zulu phrase "Phinda Izilwane" meaning 'do again', or more poetically 'return of wildlife'.
