Tshukudu Bush Lodge

"Place of the Rhino" offers 6 luxury cottages and 2 standard cabins nestled on an isolated rocky outcrop in the heart of Pilanesberg Game Park, a malaria free wildlife paradise. Each cottage is equipped with everything you could possible need. You will find a safety deposit box, mini bar, hairdryers, books and magazines as well as a tea and coffee facility. Slate floors and the thatched roof keep you cool in the hottest weather, and wood burning fires and hot water bottles keep you warm during cold winter nights. However to relax away from outside pressures there is no radio, TV or telephone and cell phone signal is limited. Here the only sound is the wind and the calls of wild animals. Each cottage has a private balcony offering potential sightings of over 80 species of wild animals, including the Big Five, as well as 360 bird species. The sunken bath in the luxury cottages has its own private view of the waterhole. What a way to relax and to soak in the sights and the sounds of the African bush.

Tshukudu's cuisines are not only out of Africa, it's out of this world. Each dish is lovingly prepared to five star standards. A full English brunch prepared to perfection at the end of an early morning game drive; high tea with a savory and sweet selection; sundowners under African skies; a splendid selection of wine provides the ultimate accompaniment to your five course dinner. Overlooking its own waterhole, set in rolling plains that abound with flora and fauna, Tshukudu Lodge allows the visitor a special glimpse of Africa as she was: untouched, unspoilt, unforgettable. A game drive or walk is a must. The rangers share their intimate knowledge of animals and plants, answering questions and pointing out the wonders of the wild kingdom. Still, there are times when you might just like to take it easy, view the game as it visits the waterhole from the privacy of your own balcony or from the comfort of the Nest area. Or just relax in the sun around the sheltered pool.
