Warm atmosphere, friendly staff, upmarket lodge. We were treated to 2 professional game drives and our rangers were extremely knowledgable, tracking lion on both occasions. We had an elephant encounter with 2 week old babies, that was mind blowing. An excellent touch was a bubble bath waiting for us on our return from our game drive. Excellent value for money.... More

We were welcomed at the gate by a giraffe and her week old baby and our time in Nambiti just continued to amaze us. Springbok Lodge is spacious and welcoming. The tents are a unique experience. Warm and cosy with very comfortable beds. Our game drives with Nicole were informative and she went out of her way to ensure we... More

This was the second time we had visited Springbok Lodge and we were not disappointed. once again everything was just right. The rangers were informative and could not do enough for us. From the moment we arrived and the welcome drink we felt at home. The variety of game is good and each drive is a different experience. The accomodation... More

What a glorious place! The tented acommodation was excellent, although my wife was just a bit hesitant when we booked, her fears were dispelled on arrival. They were large and airy with an inside bath and outside(very private) shower. Our luggage was carried to our room and we were greeted with a drink and hot towels. The food was first... More

We visited Springbok Lodge for two nights in December and our stay with our children and my Aunt and Uncle was perfect. We loved the remarkable changing scenery - the views across the open plains towards Majuba Mountain were particularly beautiful. The variety of game was also surprisingly good and we enjoyed seeing lion (stalking Impala) Elephants, Buffalo, Rhino, Giraffe,... More

We have just returned from a great stay at Springbok Lodge. Holly and Mike were extremely friendly and so were the other staff members. The food was excellent, the game drives were exciting and the accomodation was good except for the fact that the tents were extremely hot in spite of air conditioning.

Expectations were surpassed at Springbok Lodge especially given the reasonable price. From being greeted with a face towel on arrival to having your gin&tonic in the middle of the park there are some decent little touches that make the experience more special. The tented accommodation had a fantastic view and the room has all the feel of a tent but... More

We stayed at the Springbok lodge in luxury tents. Very well layed out and appointed room. We had the good fortune of having Nicolle as our Ranger and guide. She worked tirelessly from 5am to 10pm to make our stay exceptional. From the Game drives, to helping out my retired father get to his accommodations to taking our wine orders,... More
