Overall this was a great experience. The game drives were incredible and Nambiti is a beautiful reserve. Darren was a great guide. The food was decent, though the Boma night left something to be desired and the buffet meals were not as good. Providing salad dressing in a bottle was a bit odd given everything else was quite high class. That felt a bit cheap. The rooms were well kept and the outdoor shower was amazing. One large gripe though was the bathroom was only separated from the main sleeping area by a half wall and included an exposed toilet. That meant if you were sharing the tent it was a bit odd to use the toilet as there was little to no privacy. This seems like it could be an easy fix, but because of that, I had to give it 4/5.

No words can explain the experience. Hospitality and staff are so friendly and welcoming. The food is 5 star quality. Very good game viewing. The lodge is very well maintained and it feels like home away from home. I can highly recommend this lodge.

Such a lovely lodge, staff are amazing and so friendly, from booking to the guides, to the kitchen staff, to the cleaning staff everyone is so lovely! Visited as a couple and a large group, both times we were treated so well, facilities are excellent and the game drives are spectacular! Ask for Nadine for your game drives, you wont be disappointed!

When you look for a quality experience then you will find it here. With an eye to attention and detail you will feel pampered by each and every member of staff. When going on a game drive every possible effort will be taken to improve your experience. You will not be disappointed!!

Good food. Great game drives. Excellent game guide. Tented lodge and some refurb is needed.

A really great experience. Thank you to all the staff. Our guide Matt was excellent. Very good knowledge and went out of his way to make every drive exciting and interesting. Thanks Matt

Great place to stay in the bush. Food was good they catered for special diets and the game drives are amazing!

Such an amazing experience here with family! The lodge is amazingly run and follows all covid regulations to help you feel safe. The game ranger we had made sure we say everything we wanted to and was always informative and friendly. A truly wonderful experience and hope to be back soon.

Fantastic staff, comfy accommodation, great game drives and delicious food!

We had the best guide in Bethuel, and the staff went out of their way making it a memorable weekend. Good food.

Loved my time here. Service outstanding and experience magic.

Had a relaxed time and it was home away from home. Staff was amazing and the facilities and drives

What a lovely place. We were one of the first guests to be allowed back into the reserve after the lock down. Every thing ran very smoothly. The game drivers were exiting as we were blessed to see the 2 Cheetah on a kill right out side the gate.

Beth is great. Had an awesome experience.

Beautiful experience. Kids loved it, even though it was cold. The game drives were awesome. Staff were friendly and met all expectations. Room was cosy and comfortable...Just NO WiFi in the room.

Beautiful place. The staff are awesome. We loved our stay.

Amazing Lodge with modern interior even though you sleep basically in a huge tent. The lobby is very beautiful designed in a hunter hut style. The food is amazing there including the nice staff that serves the food. Our Safari Guide was nice too and he knew where all the amazing animals are. We had a blast at this smaller reserve.

Top class safari experience.Food was nice but could be improved

It the best place ever and you must really go there

Superb facilities and service. Our room (tent although it had brick sides and a lockable door) was very comfortable for a family of 4, and s lovely environment to collapse after some tremendous 3+ hour game drives. We saw all the Big 5 as well as cheetah, hippos, many varieties of buck, giraffe, zebra, warthogs, wildebeest etc. Our friendly, and really knowledgeable key guide Sindy drove us around the park pointing out so much that we would have missed otherwise. All meals were served in the central lodge , and were of good quality and we enjoyed the great service. Overall this is a tremendous place.

Absolutely Awesome Game Lodge, awesome food. Service is 5 Star.

Superb private game reserve just a few hours from Durban. Excellent value and fantastic game viewing in OSVs with delicious food and great service.

Gabriel was our host and it was amazing. From his interaction with us and the feeling that he made us feel that we were the only people in In the Lodge was special. Great accommodation. Fantastic lodge and food was wonderful. Thank you

Really worthwhile bush-breakWe spent two nights at this resort. Accommodation is in very comfortable tents with all the amenities of a four star hotel room.They provide three meals per day, which are interesting and well presented. We were most impressed with the quality and variety of food presented. Full marks to the Chef and his team!The nature reserve is 10,000 hectares and contains the Big Five of which we saw four. The game drives are morning and afternoons each of three hours duration. The rangers are very knowledgeable and in contact with other vehicles by radio so it makes game viewing interesting with good sightings of antelope, lions and elephant.Not suitable for young children for safety reasons.I highly recommend this destination which in a malaria free area as a must see. Booking is essential

Nadine was our guide throughout our stay and her service was outstanding

Enjoyed immensely. Accommodation great and food delish. Pity only saw one elephant but that’s life

The most wonderful experience - were having the best time ever

Great food, obliging staff. Super accommodation..

Amazing experience and the staff was extremely friendly and knowledgeable. Beth was our ranger and was so knowledgeable and patient to give us amazing views of the animals. He was awesome and knowledgeable about anything you ask him.

Lovely location. Lots of animals and excellent guides. Plus good food.

This place is amazing! Yoga on overdrive. And there will be a retreat coming. My new #1 favorite place on this earth. The crew, accommodation are brilliant and the Animals rule. Sooo happy.Rock on Bret and the crew. Can’t wait to be back.

Great for honeymooners! Family friendly atmosphere, but if you have young kids I recall one of the other lodges being more family focussed. The game drives are amazing in themselves, but the lodge is beautiful, the food is amazing and the glamping tents are not short on luxury! The guides and staff are incredibly friendly, and the guides are very personable and know you all by name - their knowledge of the reserve and the animals is incredible. Be sure to pick their brains! Honestly, it feels like a small country with its entirely own culture. Not just a tourist attraction, either! Mostly SA residents and more often than not, not their first time. That says a lot.

Excellent Safari and service

Best game viewing experience with exceptionally knowledgeable guides. Saw 4 of the big 5 (up close) on numerous occasions. Food and hospitality is on par with what youd expect, very good.

Tranquility at its best, professional game guides, beautiful animals, beautiful place, delicious meal, nice and cool swimming pools, very friendly staff. Its such a heaven on earth♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

Great staff, awesome rooms, they think about every detail to make you more comfortable.Good game experience.

Wonderful game sitings. Whole experience made extra special by enthusiastic and knowledgeable Ranger Mike Roy. Definitely went more than the extra mile. Not only going to great lengths to deliver the requested game sitings but history, geography, game tracks, birding,insect info and info about vegetationDefinitely someone to request.Why then 4 stars and not five???The game drives and viewing probably worth 6 or 7 stars. But food bang average and some downright poor-tough kingklip and sticky date pudding disappointing ? Bought in. Veges peppers and onions standard every night. For the price you pay expect better. Accommodation luxurious but we never slept. Something (purported to be Pigeons in the roof )- scrabble around all night and keep you awake.We have been to 2 other lodges at Nambiti. Their service accommodation and food better but I doubt whether we could ever have had better game viewing included a lion kill a few meters from our vehicle.So would return to Springbok Lodge if Mike Roy is available as the ranger/guide but probably not otherwise.

Excellent food. Lots of antelopes. We saw 3 of the big 5 (elephants, buffalos and white rhinos) The Ranger was top class and all the staff and other rangers seemed very friendly and helpful. Highlyrecommended.

Best experience ever!! Great staff!! We had a super guide, knowledgeable and enthusiastic about finding and showing you the animals. Food was also great with a good Boma Braai Day Meal. Really made our honeymoon special.

From start to finish an awesome experience

A wonderful getaway with friendly and helpful staff almost at your beck and call. The game drives are superb and refreshing. This is one of those places where peace and tranquility becomes you.

This is one of a few Lodges on Nambiti private Game reserve and is very special.The people who works there are special and make you feel welcome from the first time they meet you, till you go home.I enjoy visiting them and have been there a few times.

The game is wonderful but the rooms do not provide face cloths, body sponges and conditioner however if you go I would recommend Bronwin as she is an amazing field guide.The food is amazing but only 2 options.Overall I loved it and am eager to go back some time soon.

A place to visit when nearby Ladysmith. Ideal for game drives and at a fraction of the cost. Been visiting Nambiti Game Reserve many times and havent been disappointed. Nature is nature and my kids love it.

We had a fantastic stay at Springbok Lodge. The food was very good. Game viewing was very good. The staff treated us very well. It was a relaxing holiday.

We spent 2 nights at this awesome lodge. Staff here is very special and they go out of their way to make it an amazing experience.

Mice in tents. Must be controlled. Lodge, facilities and game drives good but very overrated. Very expensive for locals.

Our ranger Keegan did an excellent job driving us around the reserve. The food was really good and very friendly staff.

Thanks to the spectacular Springbok Lodge on our fourth visit -Special thanks must go to Lerato, who is the sous chef and was our babysitter twice during game drives, she was like family, GREAT with our boy and went the extra mile for us,and to Keegan, our ranger who was so down to earth, knowledgeable and gave us loads of solid good chuckles.The grounds, facilities, rooms and decor are tasteful, well-maintained, and all have a personal thoughtful special touch.The staff are friendly, polite, professional, and family.GREAT VALUE FOR MONEY.

Very nice accommodation, great service, very helpful and our guide was very friendly and taught us allot. Keep up the good work and will definitely be back!

Awesome place to stay, the rangers are amazingly knowledgeable and go out their way to try find the animals you want on a game drive. Very nicely apportioned rooms and a great communal lodge with fireplace, pool etc.

Absolutely stunning experience and our guide Mat was incredible. Thank you .I highly recommend Cheetah Ridge.

Loves the experience

The game rangers are amazing, well informed and super friendly

Great place! I loved the experience of taking a shower outside and sleeping in the lodge. The food as really good also.

Nice safari, stayed with my family and we have memories for life. We even got a chance to go fishing among the animals.

Great getaway in the bush so close to home. We were thoroughly pampered and the food was great

Decent place but disappointed with the guides. Other staff and food were good

Third time and still love it. Blown away by the chefs attention to detail regarding our no-meat dietary requirements.

Absolutely amazing. Food and service was 2nd to none. Ask for shorty as your personal guide when booking, she is very knowledgeable.

Such a fantastic lodge, I highly reccomend going and specially requesting for Beth, he was the best safari guide we’ve ever had! All staff were fantastic and accommodating.

Love visiting this place. Real value for money and a great way to rest and relax in the Bush.

Fantastisc lodging. Excellent service. Amazing experience. Would LOVE to go back.

Wonderful family getaway in the bush. Escape the crazy lifestyles we live.

Springbok Lodge is perfect for a tranquil getaway with beautiful views and scenery. Staff are most welcoming and always helpful to make your stay as perfect as you would like.

The Springbok Lodge is a real highlight where one is made to feel so special from the first moment of interaction when making a reservation, to arrival, to the super meals and two game drives per day where professional guides go out of their way to showcase the wonderful variety of wildlife and landscapes.

The staff are wonderful, the lodge is first class, the food is excellent and the game drives are fun and interesting.

Great short stay, good service and food.

Excellent service all round and lovely tent to sleep in. The 2 game drives were great with Tascha.

Great service and the Big Five is a great benefit. Its also a protected area with economic benefits for the community built into its management.
