Was at Tshukudu lodge for a 2 night stay last weekend and everything went smoothly from transfer to the lodge to our check out upon completion of our stay. The food was great and the service delivery was exceptional.

Our safari experience at Tshukudu Lodge in October was absolutely fantastic from start to finish! Our guide, Jafari, was exceptional — knowledgeable, friendly, professional and clearly passionate about what he does. He made every game drive special and memorable. The service throughout our stay was excellent, the lodge and surroundings were beautifully clean and well maintained, and all the staff were welcoming and attentive. Everything was organised to such a high standard, and we couldn’t fault a thing. The whole experience exceeded our expectations, and we would highly recommend Tshukudu Lodge to anyone looking for an unforgettable safari experience. Thank you to Jafari and the entire team for making our stay so special!

We had an incredible 4 nights, from the greeting to leaving everything was perfect. The location is amazing, we could watch Elephants, hippos and many other animals from our balcony. The game drives were the highlight though, Our brilliant guide Jafari was able to ensure that we saw so many animals (Lions, Leopard, Elephants, Giraffes, Rhinos, Hippo’s loads of Antelope Jackals and a Honey Badger!) and is really knowledgeable about the animals and the geology of Pllanesburg. The scenery is truly spectacular.. The rooms are beautiful and clean, The Chefs, Elvis and Sen made amazing meals and were able to ensure gluten free options were available. A truly unforgettable experience.

We had the most wonderful and memorable stay at Tshukudu Lodge. We were welcomed at Bakubung gate and check in was very smooth.The lodge is in a stunning setting and we saw plenty of wildlife from our balcony.Binoculars are in the rooms which is useful to know. Our lodge was very comfortable and had all the amenities we required. The staff were attentive, polite and friendly ( the chefs even left the kitchen to describe the menu to us). The outstanding part of our visit was the game drives with Jan-Rick. He was amazing throughout. He has an incredible knowledge and passion for the wildlife. We loved his various bush stories of animal encounters and learnt so much from him. We hope that one day we are able to revisit for more experiences.

Our stay at Tsukudu Lodge was amazing, not enough words to describe how amazing it was, from the food, people, our guide to seeing the animals. The memories will stay with us for a lifetime and would recommend if you have never done a safari holiday definitely do it and stay here.
