An amazing getaway from city life, you really get to immerse yourself in the environment. We loved it. The daily game drives with the amazing animals. The absolute highlight was our midday excursion for lunch at the waterfall.

Stunning and Thrilling. It’s just brilliant! Our outstanding guide, Brent, who went out of his way to answer our questions, to find game and his knowledge was outstanding. The selection of game at Nambiti and scenery were breathtaking.

The experience was wonderful. It was fantastic. Gabriele’s special spot and all the effort he went to, to spoil us. The Lions and Cheetah were highlights.

We had a fantastic time at Springbok Lodge. The staff was very warm, welcoming and friendly. We will recommend the place! We loved finding our rooms “toasty” after the afternoon game drive.

Exceptionally great value for money. Really impressed by the level of service, the finer details and making guests feel welcome. This is really one of the better places we have stayed at. William really went out of his way to make our time here enjoyable. The present on the bed, the game drives, the fishing, the attention to detail and the friendly staff. Everything was superb.

As a guide for the African Eagle group; and comparing your total rating to other institutions/resorts you can improve very little.  Even comparing to 5 star hotels.  I can only say all round that Springbok Lodge compares only with the best.  5 Star!

Sanele, our waiter was wonderful, what a friendly gentleman. Makes a huge difference to your stay. We’ll be back if we can have our waiter and driver again. So happy, was amazing. Highlights were our game drives with Keegan! His knowledge and love for the wild and his job will take him far.
