This is an awesome place to experience!! I wish I could have spent two days. The staff are attentive and the lodge simply awesome!! I needed a nice, chill place as a single traveller and found it entirely. I fully recommend Tshukudu and can't wait to experience it in warmer weather!!

the lodge was just great. Philip our guide (borrowed from a sister lodge) was just excellent: very knowledgeable and obviously so committed to his work and to ensuring his guests had a great time. By far our best guide ever. The rooms were very good with lots of thoughtful touches and the staff went out of their way to make... More

My husband and I celebrated our first wedding anniversay here. We received excellent service prior to making the booking. The reception upon arrival was very friendly. The Lodge itself was very luxurious and elegantly decorated. All staff were friendly. The best part of the weekend was the private dinner they arranged for us, in our bedroom. Sean, the Game Ranger,... More

My husband and I treated ourselves after our business meetings were concluded in South Africa. Tshukudu Bush Lodge was the perfect ending to our trip to South Africa. From the moment we were picked up at registration to the last moment of the trip it was perfect. The lodging, staff, guides and chefs were outstanding. The Safari was outstanding. We... More

This was our first trip/stay in a Game Park and we were not disappointed. From our pick up at Bakubung to our departure we were well looked after. The lodge itself is secluded and caters only for 12 guests. The views from our cottage were spectacular across the watering hole. The staff were very efficient and hospitable, the food was... More

This lodge is conveniently located about 2.5 hrs from J'burg making it a viable alternative for those who aren't able to logistically make it to Kruger due to the length of your itinerary. It is malaria free so that's a bonus as well. The game reserve is just gorgeous and the cabins are nicely appointed. I came with a group... More

We knew, or thought we knew that Pilansberg would be a good way for a mini-safari without the trek (or cost) of going to Kruger and so booked into Tshukudu on our way back from SunCity as it was the only place that could accomodate 3 adults in one room. The place you drop the car off and await transfer... More

Never in my wildest dreams would I have thought that, one day, I'd find myself not only walking with a cheetah, but also playing with two of them! Words cannot explain how deeply moving this experience was - to actually feel bonded with such magnificent creatures, to feel totally at one with them, to hug and stroke them, and to... More

Wonderful lodges, amazing scenery, superb staff, great food and planty of animals. Where else can you sit in your bath sipping champagne when Nick the elephant passes your window, wow!!! This is a must do trip if you are in Joburg for a short trip.
