Tshukudu Lodge,
"Place of the Rhino" in the Pilanesberg, offers 6 newly refurbished luxury
cottages and 2 newly refurbished standard cabins nestled on an isolated rocky outcrop in
the heart of a 55 000 hectare, malaria free, wildlife paradise.
Amazingly enough, this incredible wilderness experience is but a 2 hour drive from the
concrete jungles of Johannesburg and Pretoria. Direct flights are available from Cape
Town, Hoedspruit and Johannesburg Airport to the Pilanesberg Airport.
ACCOMMODATION:
Each of Tshukudu's luxury cottages are equipped with everything you could possible need
from walking sticks to bubble bath. You will find a safety deposit box, mini bar,
hairdryers, books and magazines as well as a tea and coffee facility. Slate floors and the
thatched roof keep you cool in the hottest weather, and wood burning fires and hot water
bottles keep you warm during cold winter nights.
To keep the pressures of the outside world remote, you won't find radios, television or
telephones. Cell phone signal is very limited. Here the only sound is the wind whispering
through the grass, perhaps the distinctive call of a lion, or a jackal's plaintive wail.
The sunken bath in the luxury cottages has its own private view of the waterhole. What a
way to relax and forget the pressures of the city life and to soak in the sights and the
sounds of the African bush.
DINING:
Tshukudu's cuisines are not only out of Africa, it's out of this world. Each dish is
lovingly prepared to 5 star standards. A full English brunch prepared to perfection at the
end of an early morning game drive; high tea with a savory and sweet selection; sundowners
under African skies; a splendid selection of wine provides the ultimate accompaniment to
your five course dinner.
Overlooking its own waterhole, set in rolling plains that abound with flora and fauna, Tshukudu Lodge allows the visitor a special glimpse of Africa as
she was: untouched, unspoilt, unforgettable.
GAME DRIVES & WALKS:
A game drive or walk is a must. Our rangers share their intimate knowledge of animals and
plants, answering questions and pointing out the wonders of the wild kingdom. Still, there
are times when you might just like to take it easy, view the game as it visits the
waterhole from the privacy of your own balcony or from the comfort of the Nest area. Or
just relax in the sun around the sheltered rock pool. |
