Each elegant chalet is positioned for ultimate privacy and offers breathtaking views of the nearby watering hole and the plains below, where the resident bird- and wildlife go about their business undisturbed. Expect frequent sightings of the Big Five when out on the daily game drives or bushveld walks with the expert rangers. Savour intimate dinners for two on your private balcony or alongside your personal mini-boma fire. Treat yourself to a heavenly spa therapy in the seclusion of your chalet. Unwind in the small but well-stocked library. Or enjoy a rejuvenating dip in the crystal-clear plunge pool.
Famous for its five-star service, tranquil setting, and delectable Afro-centric cuisine, Pilanesberg’s Tshukudu Bush Lodge is the ideal destination for that special anniversary, honeymoon or couples’ only breakaway. With the Big 5 and all of Southern Africa’s other big game species game viewing in Pilanesberg is incredibly rewarding.
