Well, it is hard to describe what you see in the eyes of a 9 years old boy when you arrive at Tshukudu for the first time and he realizes that there is a pet cheetah lying down on the terrace. Amazing family place, great food and the most kid’s friendly staff you can imagine. Our ranger took a great... More

We stayed for 2 days during a short break during a business trip to South Africa. Tshukudu Lodge made a 2 night stay seem like a week or more holiday. Our game guide, host, and lodge manager Wimpie was fantastic - knowledgeable ranger during our exciting game drives to engaging host at dinner. A wonderful place, well run, clean, good... More

We arrived after a 21/2 hour drive from Johannesburg at Tshukudu and had wonderful game-drives with Shawn, property Manager and Ranger in one person.The location on the little hill is beautiful and you have great views from the big veranda and from the balcony of your room. The food was amazing! More

This was the second time I have visited this exclusive place in the bush. The first was with my mom and the second with my husband. I found the food to be incredible, the service to be impeccable, and the guides to be so knowledgeable, friendly, and interactive. We had Vimpy (his nick name) as our guide. He was wonderful!...

Stunning lodge with great views from the lodge and from the balcony. Food was amazing and staff were there to please. A little pricey but a great way to spend a weekend. More

Spent three nights with my new wife on honeymoon at the lodge. Amazing location and fantastic views from the lodges. Prepare yourself for the 5 course dinners and great high tea lunches. Zander the guide was excellent, providing lots of interesting information and amazing sightings. Head there for at least two nights, ideally three. More

My friends and I stayed one night and while we enjoyed the experience immensely all agreed it would have been that much... More

Tshukudu Lodge is located right in the middle of the Pilanesberg Park, up on a hill dominating the plane. When we arrived there, sipping the welcome cocktail on the veranda, we saw a gnu eating the grass and about 20 meters away a lioness hiding behind a bush, ready to attack. Something you see on National Geographic, it seemed staged... More

We stayed at Tshukudu Bush Lodge for 3 nights in August, 2010. Everything was wonderful. The staff couldn't do enough to help us - dealt with everything with grace and courtesy. Shawn and Marika were great guides and hosts, and the rest of the staff were just amazing. The food was wonderful, the game drives amazing, the rooms beautiful. Just... More
