Tshukudu Game Lodge

もう入れました。

Location was beautiful, but construction work everywhere which we were not made aware of. Atmosphere was ok. Rooms were clean, but bath not working, shower have no pressure and cannot properly close the taps. Definitely not value for money. The train is very loud at night. Service can improve. Will not be going back

1. This is definitely not a 4-star lodge. The rooms are very outdated and cannot compete with other 4-star lodges in the area. 2. Our shower drain was blocked and resulted in water spilling all over the bathroom. 3. The room has a funny damp smell. 4. We got 1 water for 2 people. 5. The finer details are terribly unkept. l.e. the basin is stained, the carpets are torn, the ashtray is tacky, the toilet flusher is worn out and lost all its coating. 6. The rooms are separated by a door so you can hear everything from the other side (eeeek). 7. Breakfast juice is a juice mixture, no fresh juice. Coffee at the restaurant is only instant Jacobs coffee- no filter coffee or cappuccinos. 8. We paid for a 120min game drive, got a flat tyre, waited 25min for it to be changed and arrived back at the lodge first of all the vehicles. We received only 55mins of what we paid for. 9. 2 mins before we saw 4 lions, we were told to get off the game vehicle for the ranger to change the tyre. No precautions, no warnings, no “in case of emergency do this”. 10. The signal is terrible and so is the wifi!! My husband needs access to reliable wifi for his work (24/7) and couldn't reach anyone. We ended up leaving before 9 just so he could be reached. I really am sorry to say this but this is far from a 4-star experience.

We booked two rooms. One was a big two bedroom villa with huge pool and braai area, which is a self catering. That was for our kids. Drive from the gate the reception is 6KM. Check in was quick. We even got welcoming drinks. Breakfast was ok with not so much selection, start from 8am to 9:30am. Dinner was good however, I find it that it was rushed, starting from 7pm to 8:30pm. We had half board, including bed breakfast and dinner. They have full boated option. Rooms were clean. Very friendly staff. They decorated my son’s bed for his birthday celebration. They also decorated our bed for our anniversary. We did morning 3 hrs game drive. We saw lion and giraffe . I would recommend it and will definitely go back.

My partner and I had such a wonderful experience , Also, I noticed the website highlights guides and management, which is fantastic, but it would be lovely if the amazing receptionists, waiters, and the rest of the team could also be showcased. They really make the experience memorable, and guests like myself would love to see and celebrate them too.

Nice rooms, friendly staff, Obri is an excellent guide

Thank you Steven Sussens for ensuring that our 23 Worldschool guests, parents and children, had the most wonderful morning experiencing Tshukudu on an early morning bush walk and learning more about your rehabilitation efforts. Indeed most valuable and necessary even though we advocate against certain types of animal interaction, we appreciate all you do for those habituated species alike.

Very impressive, we had a group of world schoolers come to your safari experience and we had an epic time. Loved all the community work you do, the information you were willing to share and the engagement you had with the kids. Thank you very much. Highly recommended
