6 guests' feedbackWill go again, it is nice to not see a TV and be close to nature. For us in SA who earn Rands, it sounds expensive, but every cent is worth it. Thanks to everyone from Woodlands Gate, William, all the staff, kitchen staff and management. It was fantastic! We will see you again.
My husband really enjoyed the game drives and really appreciated the effort that was made to see as many animals as possible. To then return to a lovely hot bath to wash off dust and then just sit down to a 5 star meal. Very good service, accommodation and staff very helpful. Only complaint was that air conditioning did not work perfectly.
Our overnight stay was most pleasant. The tent was well equipped and neat. All the staff receive full marks for friendliness and being good hosts. Mike, our ranger deserves a special mention for his knowledge and attention to detail to ensure that we were comfortable and well looked after.
Disappointed to hardly have seen any big game over the two days. 2 x 3 hour drives saw the backside of one elephant, a nice crash of rhino, one giraffe from a distance and a fair diversity of buck. No hippo, lion, cheetah, leopard, buffalo at all. The morning drive was a waste - saw virtually nothing. My wife and I are not Twitchers so birding is not on our menu. For a 10,000 ha reserve I would have hoped the owners can try and carry more significant stock. The Rangers can only do so much to make a game drive interesting if there's nothing to see. The peace and quiet was good however, as was the catering.
The Springbok Lodge goes to a lot of trouble to make the experience as special as possible. Tent accommodation is very luxurious and neat. The game drives were fantastic, with incredible game and it offers a full bushveld experience. Springbok Lodge made our stay very special. Menu and food is tasty. Will recommend Springbok Lodge.
