About

A set of wild springs where game comes down to drink and predators follow. It is rated 4.7 from nine Google reviews and suits travellers who come for lions and raw wilderness rather than comfort.

The standout review is from a visit in August 2025, when a pride of 17 lions was living at the springs and hunting the impala and buffalo that came to drink. The group watched four hunts in 48 hours, two of them successful, and plenty of time with the cubs, all from the shade of a huge fig tree overlooking the springs. They also mention a baobab forest nearby. Other reviewers describe big herds of buffalo coming in to drink and the feeling of being in real African wilderness.

One visitor says local guides told them game was moving away from the springs because lodges in the area are pumping water.

“If you want to see lions, this is the place. We visited in August 2025. A pride of 17 lions was living at the springs and preyed on the impala and buffalo which came to drink. We were treated to 4 hunts - 2 were successful - in 48 hours. You can sit in the shade of a huge fig…”
