    Quite literally nothing

    Everything about this property was phenomenal, exceptional hospitality from all the staff, food was delicious and we ate like kings! The game drives were by far the best part, managed to see 4 of the Big 5. Beth was absolutely fantastic. Not seeing a Leopard was a little sad but it just means I have to come back. Worth every penny!

    We had an issue with the geyser and hot water to our tent. Within half a day, the facilities team had replaced a brand new geyser and we had hot water sorted. Excellent response!

    Springbok Lodge is simply perfect. Tents are comfortable and well equipped with every luxury you could ask for. The food and service at the lodge is brilliant and nothing is too much trouble for the staff. Highlight of the experience is the game drives - our ranger, Beth, was so knowledgable, interesting and kind. We were travelling with a 6 year old and an 8 year old and he was great with them - answering their 1000 questions over and over and over again. He was an absolute credit to Springbok.

    Clean, comfortable and well appointed tented accommodation. Close walking distance to reception, bar, dining room, lounge and swimming pool. Very knowledgeable guides, friendly, great sense of humour and game drives were brilliant. Unfortunately our bath plug was broken and couldn't be fixed during our stay and we only had options of showering with hand shower or using outdoor shower.

    Only comment is that having all the bathroom facilities open to the rest of the lodge does not appeal to everyone. More screening around the WC and bath would be advantageous.

    Spacious and attractive lodges with safe for storage of valuables. The included game drives were excellent. The meals were plentiful and good quality. The pool facilities were good.

    Very little activities to do on the resort except for game drives. An entertainment centre would be nice. Other activities such as Archery, Segway, etc would be perfect.

    The Guides provide personalised care. I wanted to see Cats and David, our Guide made that happen. The resort management catered for my dietary requirements and were able to provide accommodation close to each other for our group. Good directions. From start to end, everything was organised professionally and to a very high standard.

    I wish bottled water would've been provided at least once a day, or on game drives.

    The family tent was spacious and perfect for us. The kids also loved the pool.
