Tshukudu Bush Lodge

10/10 Excellent
"Booked this as a splurge for our trip, knowing it's unlikely we'll do a safari/game drive trip again as we're coming from the states. This exceeded my expectations. The room was beautiful and we especially appreciated the tub overlooking the plains and the private plunge pool and balcony. From the patio we were able to overlook herds of zebras and wildebeest playing, squeaking and grunting. The meals were fantastic with made to order breakfast, high tea, and a 5 course dinner with 2 entree options. Both chefs we're incredibly talented. This was a great opportunity to try kudu and ostrich. The property had a gorgeous view of a watering hole where we saw hippos, elephants, wildebeest, zebras, kudu, and eland. Obviously the stand out was the game drives, we did a sunrise each day and sunset each day each lasting about 3.5-4 hours and we almost saw all the big five! We missed cape buffalo but each day saw lions and leopards, giraffes, elephants, baboons, zebras, hippos, black and white rhino, and many more antelope. It was incredible. Only downside was the amount of bugs and straw in the room seemed a bit for the price point and it was quite warm inside at night since we couldn't open windows. While I acknowledge we're in the bush, other places with the same building type and lower price points haven't had the same issue. Also, they had a wonderful espresso machine but the coffee was always burnt which was disappointing"

"The pre arrival information was great and the check in quick and easy. Staff were always helpful and courteous. The rooms were fair but we struggled to find plug points to charge phones etc. The bathroom was quite dark and the cold water tap dripped. Meals were served well and were more than adequate. The breakfast buffet was great."

10/10 Excellent
"The rooms were very nice, clean and big. The only thing that was off was the toilet being separate from the showers and sink. So you would have to use the bathroom then come out into your room and wash your hands where the shower and sink was located. The staff were GREAT. Especially Gontse and Patricia. Always going the extra mile to help and make things convenient. Nice breakfast buffet with a variety to choose from. They even had chicken sausage for those who don’t eat pork. Megan, our guide for the game drives was excellent. She knew exactly where to go for us to see the animals. We saw all of the Big 5 except 1, which was the leopard. Overall, I love this place and wouldn’t hesitate to go back!"

"Everything was very good. the staff were attentive and catered for your every need. The hotel has a good selection of restaurants and of course there is the casino. There is also a nice pool with a bar and a food oulet. The only gripe I did have was that the hot water was seldem more than tepid. I reported this on occassions but to no avail. A short walk away is a shopping mall with more eateries and shopping."
