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

I actually stayed at Tshukudu in Dec. 2009 and am just getting around to posting. Since my review is so old I won't offer any suggestions other than to say that you should stay at least two nights. 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

You can't accurately describe how wonderful this place truly is. From the staff to the accommodations to the location, all simply incredible. I've traveled all over this Earth for business and pleasure and can honestly say this is the place that sticks in my mind when I close my eyes. Watching a thunderstorm move in over the the mountains was... More

I will not repeat what has been said time and again in previous reviews about the great rooms, staff, food and guides, except to say that they are 100% accurate. Because of the limited numbers the lodge can accommodate, and age restriction on children, the lodge provides a relaxed and restful atmosphere, as well as the opportunity to get to... More

The food was excellent and Chef Nicholas clearly enjoyed sharing it with the guests. Zander was a great guide that found everything we could think of. He could even anticipate the animals next moves so we always had the best sitings. Finally he found leapord for us, twice! And last, but not least, the rooms... they are perfect. More

This was our third trip to Tshukudu and hopefully not our last. We again combined a few days here with a trip to Sun City to play some golf. The location, being in the Pilansberg, is fantastic, to sit on the Cottage patio area while the wildlife wanders past has to be seen to be believed. The Cottages are wonderfully... More
