Bethuel was fantastic and really knowledgeable, the food was lovely, all staff kind and friendly. We saw interesting and beautiful game as well as the regulars (Boomslang, Serval, Cheetah, Ant baiting Chats and Jackals). It was amazing, absolutely loved every minute and can’t wait to come back. An awesome trip.

The hospitality, the professionalism, the warmth and friendliness of the staff from the moment we arrived at the Woodlands Gate we were treated with love and warmth. Our ranger was the best! It was an excellent stay, there was nothing wrong – we enjoyed it all.

Everything!! The uniqueness of the place, the game drive, William’s birthday gift, the sunset drinks stop and the drinks. Excellent service!

It all started with seeing our tents, we loved the set up. From there it was just one positive after another from friendly staff to close encounters with 3 of the Big 5. Coming back to our tent and seeing a candle lit bath with bubbles was also special. Fantastic and we look forward to visiting again.

We had a lovely stay and everyone made us very comfortable and welcome. Thank you. I have been on quite a few safaris and I think Noleen has been the best guide I have ever had. She has certainly made a huge effort and her knowledge really was amazing. She excelled in every area, including picking her coffee and sundowner spots. Noleen was excellent. Cannot fault her on anything. She made it wonderful and interesting for all the kids. Food was also excellent.

The Cheetah ‘boys’ in the early morning and the black Rhino (‘Torpedo’s young son) sleeping by the roadside plus the prolific bird life. The helpfulness and friendliness of all the staff is to be commended – we really don’t see any need for improvement. Thanks to all the staff. This was a great bush experience to be recommended to local and foreign visitors. Sindi did a wonderful job as our guide. We learned a lot about the environment and wildlife. We also enjoyed the delicious food and hospitality.

The game drives and seeing the Big 5 in their natural habitat. The escape from the city and the tranquillity of the bush were highlights for us. The food was amazing and the staff super friendly and helpful. Great stay – thank you .

Probably the most pleasant staff we have encountered before at other lodges. Very well trained – which is not always heard of in this day. The chef is unbelievable – excellent food. Our ranger Bethuel was wonderful, very knowledgeable, super friendly, very chatty and a good driver – courteous to a T. We highly recommend the lodge – well done to the Springbok staff. A very special thank you for the manner and professionalism in handling our late cancellation due to us both having contracted the virus and then remembering my birthday in such a special way despite it having been 2.5 months previously.

The game drives, the food and the accommodation. It was great! One night away and treated like royalty. A great place to come to away to from our everyday rushed life. Staff friendly and we felt like family.

The snake encounter with Nadine on Sunday and the fishing trip. Nadine was fantastic, knowledgeable, helpful, fun and really tried her best for us to see everything on our wish list. Our waitress was super sweet. This was our first experience of Nambiti and also having guided game drives, we will definitely do it again.

The game drives, the delicious food and the really friendly and pleasant staff. Bethuel went out of his way to make our game drives interesting and we saw lots of game. Honestly cannot think of a thing which would better what you already offer. We loved every minute of our stay and will not hesitate to recommend Springbok Lodge to our friends and anyone else who asks about our visit here.

The highlight of our stay: Seeing the female Lion, the Elephants swimming in the dam, Buffalo close to the vehicle, stopping at the cascades for sundowners and seeing black and white Rhino . Our stay was great – couldn’t have asked for anything more.
