Tshukudu Game Lodge was a hodgepodge of the good and the bad. The good...the food, the cheetahs and the bush walk with the lions. The bad....the rooms and the management's response to problems. We visited Tshukudu for a couple of days specifically for the chance to interact with the Cheetahs and the Lions..something nearly impossible to do here in the... More

This is a very nice place if you also want to come close to animals. They have three tame cheetahs here. You can basically walk up to them an pet them like cats. They also have two linos. We went on a morning walk with them. Our kids, 7 and 11 were not able to walk with us. Instead, the... More

Had a great 2 nights at the Tshukudu bush camp with my 10-year old daughter, absolutely loved the setting, staff and the walks with lions and cheetahs of course. However, we could have done without all the guides revving the engines to get the 12-year old lion to roar for us... and that probably every day they see him. Why... More

Spent a fabuolous three days watching rhino, walking lions, stroking cheetahs and marvelling at how a leopard can "run" up a tree. The wildlife is why you come here. The food is also mind numbingly good. Rooms are clean and perfectly well appointed. Superb experience..... Only 2 negatives, wi-fi is a real rip off, only use it if you really... More

The title says it all. My partner and I first visited Tshukudu Xmas 2004. The entire visit was such an amazing experience that when we decided to get married, we didn't even need to discuss where it would be. We wanted our friends and family to experience what we had - and have a bush wedding thrown in. This is... More

We arrived at Tshukudu Game Lodge and stayed for four nights in February 2012. It is different from other game lodges because they allow 'tame' animals to wander through the camp. They had two beautiful cheetahs who could often be seen lounging by the pool or on the verandah and in the morning you can go for walks with the... More

We stayed 2 nights at the lodge as part of a group. The rooms in the chalets are adequate with AC and nice tiled shower. The grounds are well kept with a welcoming pool area. When we visited there were 3 cheetahs and one blind bush pig hanging around the facilities. Especially one cheetah liked to be scratched behind the... More

Unfortunately our stay here was marred by the worst rain in 30 years - a year's rainfall in 24 hours. There was not a great deal to do as the rain fell constantly, although one of the three cheetahs walked about the restaurant and pool area and was keen to pose for photos and be stroked. There is also a... More

We visited the game reservate twice for game drives, but did not in fact stay overnight at the lodge. There is plenty of opportunities to see all sorts of animals, we saw leopard, lions, rhino's and elephants up real close. The lodge seemed very nice, family run. We had breakfast there one morning. Nice buffet, and you could order eggs... More
