Owned by John Smit and Percy Montgomery

Springbok icons, John Smit and Percy Montgomery present to you to their Private Big Five Game Lodge ... The Springbok Lodge. Located in the northwest corner of KwaZulu-Natal, a 2.5 hour drive from Durban, 3.5 hours from Johannesburg/Pretoria and Bloemfontein, and mere 1 hour drive from the Drakensberg, the Springbok Lodge is an ideally situated destination.

The Lodge:

The Springbok Lodge is definitively different. Whilst providing the fundamental “Big 5” experience, it also offers a uniquely themed and memorable stay. It will flourish on the basic human experiences and relationships built around the icons who represent the passion of the nation-building game of rugby.

The Lodge itself is also extraordinary. The walls and pubs are adorned with priceless rugby memorabilia – a framed history depicting our love of the game. A library of unforgettable games, the momentous ’95 victory and many hours of exciting rugby can all be viewed on the big screen. Bush Braai's and sunny skies, in a malaria-free and disability friendly zone, promises a comfortable and carefree holiday filled with much laughter and camaraderie.
