Overview of Tshukudu Bush Lodge

Tshukudu Bush Lodge occupies a rocky ridge on its own private concession within Pilanesberg National Park, about a two-hour drive from Johannesburg and Pretoria.

Location & Setting

Guests arrive through Bakubung Gate on the park’s southern side. The elevated position overlooks a waterhole and the park’s concentric hills, the remnants of an ancient volcanic crater. Pilanesberg is one of South Africa’s few Big Five wilderness areas that is malaria-free, making it a convenient, year-round safari choice.

Rooms

Accommodation is in twelve suites, each for a maximum of two guests, in three types: Kubu Luxury Suites of 38 m², larger Tshukudu Executive Suites of 45 m², and Tshwene Deluxe Suites. All have private decks with far-reaching views and en-suite bathrooms. Please check the current child policy with us before booking a family stay.

Facilities

Days follow a classic rhythm: a sunrise game drive, a leisurely brunch, a swim or a treatment at the Tshukudu Spa, high tea overlooking the plains, and a sunset drive before dinner. A bar and lounge anchor the main area, and from the hilltop the views run across the old crater to its rim.
