Since &Beyond’s beginning in 1991, the bateleur eagle has been our company logo. With a name that means ‘acrobat’ in French, these eagles rock from side to side when they soar, mimicking the balancing act of a tight-rope walker. This is only fitting since our company ethos is all about maintaining a healthy balance of caring for the land, wildlife and people.

Our dream was born at &Beyond Phinda Private Game Reserve 30 years ago and we have since grown and developed it to span three continents.

It all began at Phinda Private Game Reserve. Back in 1991, this derelict once-farmland was overgrazed, degraded and devoid of its original wildlife. With a strong conviction that this neglected land could be restored to its original splendour, including the subsequent reintroduction of all the large mammal species that originally inhabited the region; it was purchased by our founders and the rest of its journey has become conservation history.

From the outset, neighbouring Zulu communities were consulted, ensuring that their expectations and aspirations were met in a sustainable way. We established the Rural Investment Fund, now known as Africa Foundation, our non-profit community development partner since these early days.

December 2020 will go down as a major landmark in Phinda’s groundbreaking Pangolin Reintroduction Project, marking the birth of the first wild pangolin pup born in this KwaZulu-Natal region in decades.

&Beyond’s Phinda Private Game Reserve isn’t just the site of a groundbreaking pangolin reintroduction programme. It’s a testament to the power of our vision and business model. So the next time you travel with us, you can rest assured that you are helping to leave our world a better place.
