What a wonderful stay! The whole staff is very friendly, all the meals were delicious, the view from the room-balcony is spectacular and the game-drives are unforgetable. Thank you very much to Jann-Rick, our Guide. It was a wonderful experience and our best stay in South Africa.

From the moment we checked in to the moment we checked out this entire trip was incredible, the game drives were the best we have been on and this is all thanks to our guide Jafari. The food and the staff was outstanding, there wasn’t anything they couldn’t help with and the food was absolutely delicious. We were so sad to leave and already looking forward to returning hopefully next year.

Our stay at Tshukudu Game Lodge was genuinely exceptional from beginning to end. The lodges themselves were outstanding — beautifully presented, comfortable and perfectly suited to the intimate surroundings. The whole lodge has a wonderfully personal and exclusive feel, and the location is absolutely perfect for experiencing the wildlife up close. The food throughout our stay was also first class and far exceeded our expectations. A huge part of what made the experience so memorable was our guide, Jann Rick. He was absolutely brilliant. His knowledge of the wildlife and the area was incredible, but what really stood out was his genuine passion and enthusiasm. Combine that with his friendliness and great personality, and every game drive became an experience in itself. Nothing ever felt rushed, and his excitement for the wildlife was infectious. He is a real credit to Tshukudu. A very special mention also has to go to Elvis, the chef, who produced amazing food throughout our stay. Every meal was something to look forward to and the quality was superb. Finally, a huge thank you to Tammy and Ernest, who looked after us throughout the day. Their warmth, friendliness and hospitality made us feel incredibly welcome and added enormously to the intimate, personal atmosphere of the lodge. Tshukudu manages to combine fantastic accommodation, outstanding food, incredible wildlife and genuinely wonderful people. It felt far more personal than simply staying at a safari lodge — the whole experience was special. Without hesitation, 5 stars. We would return in a heartbeat and cannot recommend Tshukudu Game Lodge highly enough.
