What started as a dream became the reclaimed wonderworld of the Munywana Conservancy encompassing &Beyond Phinda Private Game Reserve, Zuka Private Game Reserve and Makhasa Private Game Lodge. A compelling realisation of our vision to achieve sustainable conservation and thriving communities through responsible tourism.
Supporting projects and programmes in the iSimangaliso region in KwaZulu-Natal is where our journey began. In 1992, Wild Impact was founded by &Beyond who were establishing Phinda Private Game Reserve at the time. The shared strategy launched then, continues to anchor this benchmark partnership today.
iSimangaliso, South Africa’s first UNESCO World Heritage site, is custodian to some of the planet’s most biodiverse ecosystems. Within this region, the environment, wildlife and rural communities are at the sharp end of changing weather patterns compounded by climate change.
