Nambiti is a fantastic Big 5 private game reserve between Johannesburg and Durban. It’s situated near the battlefields of the Anglo-Zulu wars. This was our second stay at Springbok Lodge in a year. From the start to finish, it was a lovely stay… the welcome, the stay and departure was personalised and hospitable. Mlu our ranger is really passionate about the wildlife. Staff are very helpful and friendly, take pride in their work and food was good. We were in luck with our sightings and experiences of the wildlife. Our stay was excellent and we will return!

It was Amazing!!! The staff were always willing to meet our needs, their service standards were on point and professional without losing that personal and friendly touch. We arrived as Guests and left as Friends without losing that sense of being a valued and cherished guest. Hospitality at it's Finest. Their safety standards and knowledge about every animal and creature on the reserve from the largest of the Big 5 right down to the Dung Beetle was superb. This was one of Our best life experiences and we can't wait to get back there again! Un-for-gettable...

there was very little that impressed me and certainly not value for money. roads to the resort are terrible with many potholes . weekend buffet was really good but a la carte for the rest of the week is mediocre with some items not available. the complete resort needs a revamp . no effort is made to entertain guests hot pools were really good but there should have been refreshments available nearby ( 300m ) to get a cooldrink.

I understand that Ladysmith is an old town ,but ,I was very disturbed when I saw shacks right in town ,there are other areas in CBD, that were dirty ,in Small towns like Ladysmith ,we are expecting orderly and clean places especially in CBD. Municipality must enforce the by laws. We like to visit small towns .

The city is a great stopover on the way to the Drakensberg Mountains (Giants Castle or Champagne Valley) plus it is only a short drive to the Wagendrift Nature reserve and Moor Park. Good town to stock up on supplies before heading to the mountains.

The location of Van Reenen is a) convenient and b) a beautiful part of the world. The scenery is fantastic. The town itself could do with a good lick of paint and a rich and enthusiastic developer of historic buildings. There are a couple of very pretty house which are well looked after. Across the road from the petrol station is "The littlest Church" where we stop for breakfast. Fabulous - both the church, view and breakfast.

This is a really good game lodge which is very good value for money. Our spacious room had an amazing view and animals often came right past our deck. In the main building food and drink were always available. All three meals were very good with a good choice of food. The staff were unfailingly friendly and helpful. All the grounds were immaculate and the deck in front of the dining room had a view of a watering hole where we saw many animals drinking, including a giraffe. Our ranger, Jonno, ensured we saw four of the big five, leopards are always elusive. Additionally, there was a wide range of antelopes, birds, a hippopotamus and a serval which was a rare sighting.

The boundary of the municipality is the river, I was surprised at how long it took to reach the town. The town is African, I did some shopping but didn’t explore much beyond the hotel. In the morning I drove on the rough track which is the direct route to Isandlwana battlefield. The road was very rough, surface badly eroded by rain. Approaching Isandlwana I drove down a steep hill with a very poor surface which I would be unlikely to get up if I was going the other way. I returned to Nqutu via Rorke’s Drift and almost reached the edge of Dundee before I got to the Nqutu turning.

We enjoyed the company of our tour guides who took us to Isandlwana and Rorke's Drift and explained the battles that took place. Mphiwa Ntanzi and Douglas Rattray were so informative that it felt as if you were reliving what had transpired so many decades ago. Breakfast, Lunch, Tea and Dinner were at Fugitive's Drift. So much food, that a person was putting on weight :) A standard vehicle can get you around Rorke's Drift, but it would be better if a person had a 4x4.

I Lived there for 18 years and had wonderfull childhood memories, but now the roads are very bad and basically offer you only 1 option to travel there and that is via Standerton, ant mostly with a SUV due to the amount of potholes on the road, that is not getting fixed.... Wonderfull town for any historian!!!
