For background info, my wife and lived for 3 years in Kenya and have visited numerous luxury lodges and been on various types of game drives. THIS lodge was without doubt the most impressive we have ever visited and the whole staff were incredibly friendly. The food was exceptional and especially in the evening had a dinner party vibe. We went at the end of August (their winter) but most days the weather was 28-30 degrees and we saw the big five. The park was plenty big enough to explore for 3 days and we would have loved to say longer. The price includes alcoholic drinks. We had a room with a hot tub and a great view of the water hole which had Elephants as well as numerous types of deer. It was so picturesque! The park is advertised as malaria-free but actually it is pretty much insect free. When we lived in Kenya, sitting out in the evening could be a battle involving repellent and netting. In THIS lodge you could sit out in the evening without being pestered at all, it was so relaxing. The game drives were definitely the highlight for us though. We were in a 4x4 jeep in small groups of between 4 to 8 and the driver was so knowledgeable and friendly and made them all great fun. We had toilet stops in the park. Early morning game drives involved coffee and a cake. Then in the afternoon we had a sundowner and then a night game drive each time too. Fantastic stay. We will definitely be back. This lodge is superb at every level. This was a dream holiday. ##### John Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sven 11 Oct 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Auch beim 4.

We loved it so much that we canceled our stay at Sun City Palace and stayed at Tshukudu. We are so glad we did. Our guide, JR, was like having your own personal Wikipedia, sitting beside you on game drives. He was excellent in every way. The property is quiet and beautiful. We booked the chalet that had plunge pool. The water was just the right temperature every day. Yes, it’s heated. We had dinner in her room one night, and the staff had built a fire in the fireplace before our arrival from the game drive. The food is five star. I really have nothing negative to say about our stay here. We liked it so much, we are planning a trip to return in June 2024. ##### Marilyn Stayed 8 nights in Apr 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lauren 31 Jan 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Sitting on the room balcony watching the animals pass was amazing , food was delicious and the staff where super helpful .

The Lodge is situated within the park (in the middle of nowhere) with a stunning view! The time at the lodge was more than great because of the whole Tshukudu team! They all have been so nice and friendly and did everything that we felt comfortable! Our guide Cole was fantastic! He took us on the safari drives twice a day and we have seen so many animals and learned a lot about them and the nature! Thank you Cole for this unforgettable time! It was a pleasure meeting you. Since Cole had to leave the lodge earlier we got another great guide for the last two rides - he was also really great! In general, you have two rides during the day. One early in the morning. Once back in the lodge you’ll get a wonderful breakfast on the main terrace. The other ride is in the afternoon with a nice snack before leaving. You will also stop for a break during this ride where you can enjoy a drink. After coming back you can enjoy the 5-course dinner together with the other guests! That was delicious! Another point which was important for us, you are not sitting in a big truck with 30 people - it is a game vehicle with a maximum of 6 guests in it (even if there are 9 seats). This enables you to spend the time with the animals as you wish and not as the driver with 30 guests decides! Ist was an amazing and extraordinary experience! So, if you are thinking going to the lodge: DO IT! It’s worth the price! ##### Zoran&Laura Stayed 3 nights in Nov 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### MNowell, Seattle 19 Sept 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities This was one of the most wonderfully intimate hotel experiences we've had.
