Sustainability in Action

We are committed to positive and transformative impact. Here are some ways they do it at andBeyond Phinda Homestead.

Call for Conservation
The Phinda Private Game Reserve where andBeyond Phinda Homestead is located has been a pioneer in wildlife conservation, serving as a testing ground for crucial models. A number of animals have been translocated to this preserve, including lions and cheetahs – the first successful reintroduction of these species together. In the last two decades, 21 white rhinos were relocated from a neighboring farm, 15 endangered black rhinos came to the reserve as part of an expansion project, and more than 50 elephants, including a full breeding herd, have also been reintroduced.
Committing to the Community
In addition to caring for the land and wildlife, andBeyond has worked hard to support communities in Africa and beyond. Now that trust has been built with local villages, the organization and its nonprofit partner, Wild Impact, can more easily enact positive change. Some of the most crucial projects in the region include support of school campuses, with the construction of more than 200 classrooms, including those at Nkomo School in nearby Mnqobokazi. Wild Impact and andBeyond also partnered to build the Mduku Clinic, a 24-hour health care facility, as well as the Macebo Creche, a small daycare.
Paving the Way
With their proximity to wildlife parks and reserves, it’s only natural that locals would grow up to work in tourism or conservation management. As one way to encourage environmentalism among youth, andBeyond and Wild Impact launched the Phinda Community Conservation and Research Skills Development Course, which teaches young adults about the research and monitoring of wildlife, land management, field guiding, tourism, and more. Other programs offer ways to develop business skills, embrace mentorship opportunities, or earn college scholarships to increase earning potential in the region.
