Tshukudu Bush Lodge, set in the malaria-free Pilansburg National Park, overlooks a waterhole and is home to Africa’s Big 5 game. It features a plunge pool and spa treatments can be arranged.
Each luxury chalet has an open plan lounge with a fireplace, a fan and a private balcony. It comes equipped with a mini-bar and the private bathroom has a bath that overlooks the plains.
Dining at the lodge can be enjoyed on the main deck, in the dining room or under the stars around the fire. Specialty boma barbecues are also available on request, prior to arrival.
