Limpopo Province
Surrounded by over 3,800 hectares of undisturbed Big 5 Game Reserve and the famous Drakensberg Mountains, Tshukudu Game Lodge provides a relaxed home away from home.
Each day guests are offered the opportunity to experience the reserve on foot. Bush walks provide a unique opportunity for nature lovers and adventure seekers to experience the amazing African wildlife up close. Each bush walk is led by a highly qualified and enthusiastic guide ensuring guests safely experience this unique experience.
Morning and early evening game drives are also offered in open 4x4 game drive vehicles. The private reserve is known for its close encounters with a vast variety of game including the Big Five (lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo and rhino).
Each of the 17 spacious air-conditioned chalets are named after the raised and rehabilitated animals of Tshukudu.
Buffet style breakfasts and light lunches are served on the thatched veranda and showcase South African dishes prepared from fresh local ingredients. Evening buffet dinners are often enjoyed seated around a roaring fire in the African Boma, under the stars. Traditional venison dishes also feature on this authentic South African menu.
In between safari activities, recliners under a canopy of thatch beckon guests to enjoy shady relaxation around the pool, which is also a prime vantage point for game viewing. A waterhole lies just beyond the perimeter of the lodge and attracts various antelope species, elephant and buffalo. Indulge in the peacefulness of the African Bush while staff bring you your favourite cocktail to enjoy.
