Tshukudu Bush Lodge — a perfectly indulgent bush getaway

Tshukudu Bush Lodge

Imagine lying back in a sooth­ing bubble bath with a sweep­ing view of the malaria-free Pilanesberg National Park, where over 80 spe­cies of animal roam the savan­nah. Imagine no more. Built high on a rocky out­crop, Tshukudu Bush Lodge has been designed to offer you a per­fectly indul­gent bush getaway ...

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 ... Tshukudu Lodge, "Place of the Rhino" in the Pilanesberg Game Reserve, offers 6 lux­ury cot­tages and 2 cab­ins nestled on an isol­ated rocky out­crop in the heart of a 55 000 hec­tare, mal­aria free, wild­life paradise ...

Tshukudu Bush Lodge

Each of Tshukudu's lux­ury cot­tages are equipped with everything you could pos­sible need from walk­ing sticks to bubble bath. 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.

To keep the pres­sures of the out­side world remote, you won't find radios, tele­vi­sion or tele­phones. Cell phone sig­nal is very lim­ited. Here the only sound is the wind whis­per­ing through the grass, per­haps the dis­tinct­ive call of a lion, or a jackal's plaint­ive wail. The sunken bath in the lux­ury cot­tages has its own private view of the water­hole. What a way to relax and for­get the pres­sures of the city life and to soak in the sights and the sounds of the African bush.

Tshukudu's cuisine is not only out of Africa, it's out of this world. Each dish is lov­ingly pre­pared to 5 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.

A game drive or walk is a must. Our 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 rock pool.
