Tshukudu Bush Lodge

This is the "Place of the Rhino".

From five stars to the Big Five has never been more apt than at the luxurious Tshukudu Bush Lodge. Built high on a hilltop, the lodge offers sweeping views of the malaria-free Pilanesberg National Park.

With only six luxury cottages, it’s a perfectly indulgent getaway for those who appreciate attention to detail and personalised service.

Pilanesberg National Park, which covers some 55 000 hectare, is the fourth largest in southern Africa. This malaria-free park is perched on the eroded vestiges of an alkaline volcanic crater - one of only three such craters in the world.

On its undulating hills and everlasting open plains, you can get a glimpse of the 'Big Five', an abundance of animals and over 360 bird species.

When you visit Tshukudu, we ask that you leave all the trappings of city life behind - including your car. Guest vehicles can be parked in protected bays at Bakubung Bush Lodge - from where you'll be transferred to Tshukudu at 14h00.

From there, you can entrust everything to us.

After high tea, guests are taken on a 3 hour game drive. Another game drive is available in the mornings, with the option of an escorted game walk.

All game activities are conducted by experienced field guides. Special interest trails can be arranged for our guests.

Please note: Tshukudu Bush Lodge does not accommodate children under 12 years
