Simply wonderful!
Game drives were excellent and well worth the early start, although if visiting in winter be sure to bring your cold weather gear. Accommodation excellent. Food great too (could be a bit warmer, though). Friendly staff and a very welcoming vibe.

What a pleasure! The staff was amazing (Douglas, inparticularly), the game driver, Chris, gave us an experience on the evening drive we'll never forget. A beautiful accommodation in a Big 5 area. Couldn't have asked for more! Highly recommend.

Not value for money. Dinner was tasteless. Disturbing was to catch a worker at 07:30 the next morning hiding under our tent while we were bathing. The wooden floor has clear gaps to look through. When confronted he said he was there to fix a problem. Complained to the manager and she only replied \"Sorry for that\". No investigation or request to identify the worker. Internet is non-existent and lights are inadequate in the tent.

Tshukudu Game Lodge - Review

The game lodge provides a great lion, cheetah and elephant experience as these are easier for the rangers to find due to telemetry. Leopard and Rhino can be fairly elusive and you can very likely leave not experiencing the big 5 as was the case in my instance.

The accommodation is very clean however not as modern as expected.

Staff are fairly friendly and accommodating.

The lodge is fairly well situated to get to the Kruger National Park as well as, God's Window and Potholes.

The room was very clean and the staff were very friendly and helpful. We had a great time staying at the property and the game drive and bush walk was just amazing! Was a unique experience getting to walk with the cheetahs and to touch them as well!

Would definitely come back in the future!

Amazing Stay

Our stay at Tshukudu Game Lodge was excellent. The room was clean and well appointed, in the style of an African hut. The staff were warm and friendly and the food good and plentiful. The safari drives were superb - our guide, Michael, was fun, friendly and knowledgable, and we saw some incredible sights, including a family of lions (including cubs) feasting on a water buffalo, rhino, giraffes, hippos and zebras. And of course the resident cheetahs, which are tame enough to stroke - a fantastic experience.

Wonderful experience all around! Ranger Mike was very knowledgeable on the bush walks and game drives. Lovely being able to hang with cheetahs! The staff was amazing!

The staff was extremely attentive. We did the game drive with the owner, Chris, and he was a wealth of knowledge.

Still very good

This was not our first visit to Tshukudu, our first being in 2005. Everything was as we expected regarding the accommodation, always clean and comfortable with excellent staff who really make you feel at home.
Although the wildlife experience was very good, with the Cheetah brothers visiting the camp a couple of times, we felt slightly disappointed that there was no longer an early morning walk with a young lion or a cheetah. If we were visiting for the first time I'm sure the camp would have lived up to or even exceeded our expectations, but having visited in the past with Savana and when they had a Lion breeding program it was not quite the same!
If though you are looking for a first time Safari experience then Tshukudu would be an excellent choice

Gostei , o quarto é simples , banheiro simples, atendimento muito bom , Safari é muito bom , tem bastante animais na reserva sendo possível ver o big 5 em apenas 2 games, indico guia jhonsson.
Restaurante é bom e atendimento também.
Jantar é em um restaurante anexo com cultura local.
Animais soltos pelo pátio , como “pumbas”, jabutis e impalas traz uma energia boa.
As cheetas domesticadas que aparecem nos comentários não estão mais no
Hotel. Me atraiu esse ponto , porém ao chegar lá já avisaram que não estão mais.
Fiquei satisfeito e pelo custo benefício voltaria.

Superbe Logde

Superbe logde, bien pensé, avec possibilité de 2 safaris par jour, plus un possible en supplément.
Le personnel est très accueillant et prévenant.
A recommander pour 2 nuits ou 3 nuits, plus on risque de tourner en rond.

サファリ(ゲームドライブ)の質は満足。部屋、共用部分の施設、サービスも良かった。それでいて宿泊料金(三食付き)がすごく安いのでおすすめします。朝食昼食に比べてディナーのクオリティが低かったのが唯一の難点。

Je recommande vivement

Super séjour à Tshukudu. Accueil agréable et professionnel. A notre arrivée vers 14 heures, on nous a servi un déjeuner. Le personnel est au top. Nous avons vu 4 des bigs fives pour le safari du soir. Quand à celui du matin, une petite marche avec les guépards, c'était juste génial. j'y retournerai sans hésiter.
