Any particular ranger or room at Phinda Forest?
We are heading to Phinda Forest in September. Does anyone have any recommendations regarding a specific ranger or a room that we should request?
thanks

We liked our room but I'm not sure it is better than others--no. 17 and it was the furthest from the main lodge so we had no one on the other side. We did have a longer walk than many.
All the rooms are beautiful and, I think, the same. And they are not too close to each other--a necessity with the glass houses (there are shades!).
Our guide was Thulani and I can highly recommend him (this was three years ago). He has high marks from other Fodorites as well. We loved Phinda.

Ask for Walter at Forrest Lodge. In 6 trips to Africa, he rates in the top 3 rangers I have had. I would go to Phinda just to have him again. As for rooms, the hike can be hefty from rooms 10 and past. Unless you want a lot of privacy, I would ask for a closer room.
