Springbok Lodge was an amazing break away. We rate our experience as "Excellent". The Lodge took cognizance of my mom's mobility issues and assigned us Sindi as our guide. She is absolutely phenomenal and ensured we enjoyed a new and different experience every day. The accommodation was awesome, food really good and staff, all round, are exceptionally welcoming and friendly. We recommend the Springbok Lodge as an excellent get away for something unique. Ohm and of the Big 5, we only missed the leopard, which is often the case due to their habits. Thanks for an awesome stay!

Very good stay. Would highly recommend this experience to all looking for an amazing safari experience. Mlu was fantastic. The highlight was seeing Lions on our first game drive. Our guide, William, was friendly, professional, and extremely knowledgeable about the wildlife.

It was Philip and my first visit to this particular lodge in Nambiti but definitely not our last. We are already talking about coming back with our children. Besides seeing the Lion mate, Bethuel, our ranger is so full of interesting facts, not only regarding the wildlife but History and many other topics. He treated us with excellent service and care. We felt as he was a personal friend that just happened to be our ranger.

A very good experience. The room was excellent as well as food and service. The game drives were fascinating and our Nature Guide Sindi Mhlodi was the best we've ever had after a lot of other experiences with different guides.

A truly memorable experience and with a lasting impression of an experience that rates with one of the best of my travels. Brent, thank you for your amazing facts and info, I truly learnt a lot. The whole experience was amazing, from the lodge, the staff amazing and the game drives were exceptional. The length that Brent went to find game was beyond a normal experience. The food was so well presented and cooked that you would be hard pressed to find better. The small touches that were made with the guest in mind made me feel very special. In truth not one thing could be faulted. I can only say thank you to all that made my stay so memorable. The only thing I can say is keep up the amazing experience for the guests because you are doing an exceptional job with passion.
