2/10 Poor

Not value for money. Dinner was tasteless. Disturbing was to catch a worker at 07:30 the next morning hiding under our tent while we were bathing. The wooden floor has clear gaps to look through. When confronted he said he was there to fix a problem. Complained to the manager and she only replied "Sorry for that". No investigation or request to identify the worker. Internet is non-existent and lights are inadequate in the tent.

Personeel is geweldig. Zo vriendelijk! Kamers zijn prima, maar zeker toe aan wat onderhoud. Vooral de badkamer. Goede bedden en een leuke gamedrive gehad

8/10 Very good

Gostei , o quarto é simples , banheiro simples, atendimento muito bom , Safari é muito bom , tem bastante animais na reserva sendo possível ver o big 5 em apenas 2 games, indico guia jhonsson. Restaurante é bom e atendimento também. Jantar é em um restaurante anexo com cultura local. Animais soltos pelo pátio , como “pumbas”, jabutis e impalas traz uma energia boa. As cheetas domesticadas que aparecem nos comentários não estão mais no Hotel. Me atraiu esse ponto , porém ao chegar lá já avisaram que não estão mais. Fiquei satisfeito e pelo custo benefício voltaria.

Tshukudu Game Lodge - Review

The game lodge provides a great lion, cheetah and elephant experience as these are easier for the rangers to find due to telemetry. Leopard and Rhino can be fairly elusive and you can very likely leave not experiencing the big 5 as was the case in my instance. The accommodation is very clean however not as modern as expected. Staff are fairly friendly and accommodating. The lodge is fairly well situated to get to the Kruger National Park as well as, God's Window and Potholes.

Superbe Logde

Superbe logde, bien pensé, avec possibilité de 2 safaris par jour, plus un possible en supplément. Le personnel est très accueillant et prévenant. A recommander pour 2 nuits ou 3 nuits, plus on risque de tourner en rond.

サファリ(ゲームドライブ)の質は満足。部屋、共用部分の施設、サービスも良かった。それでいて宿泊料金(三食付き)がすごく安いのでおすすめします。朝食昼食に比べてディナーのクオリティが低かったのが唯一の難点。

The room was very clean and the staff were very friendly and helpful. We had a great time staying at the property and the game drive and bush walk was just amazing! Was a unique experience getting to walk with the cheetahs and to touch them as well! Would definitely come back in the future!

Amazing Stay

Our stay at Tshukudu Game Lodge was excellent. The room was clean and well appointed, in the style of an African hut. The staff were warm and friendly and the food good and plentiful. The safari drives were superb - our guide, Michael, was fun, friendly and knowledgable, and we saw some incredible sights, including a family of lions (including cubs) feasting on a water buffalo, rhino, giraffes, hippos and zebras. And of course the resident cheetahs, which are tame enough to stroke - a fantastic experience.

Wonderful experience all around! Ranger Mike was very knowledgeable on the bush walks and game drives. Lovely being able to hang with cheetahs! The staff was amazing!

Je recommande vivement

Super séjour à Tshukudu. Accueil agréable et professionnel. A notre arrivée vers 14 heures, on nous a servi un déjeuner. Le personnel est au top. Nous avons vu 4 des bigs fives pour le safari du soir. Quand à celui du matin, une petite marche avec les guépards, c'était juste génial. j'y retournerai sans hésiter.

Immer wieder eine Freude hierhin zu kommen. Das erste Mal war vor 18 Jahren und seit da sind wir bei praktisch jedem South Africa Abenteuer auf einen Abstecher hier. Einfach, familiär und sehr sympathisch!

4/10 Fair

Très décevant

Séjour vraiment décevant par rapport au prix proposé. Tout d’abord les Safaris inclus nous a parmi de voir que deux animaux (0 le matin et 2 l’après-midi), le Rangers qui nous accompagnait était limite aimable et quand il a compris qu’on parlait peu anglais il nous a complètement snobé. De plus la douche était bouchée ce qui a créé des odeurs dans la chambre, les serviettes de douche sont aussi ridicules que la piscine et il n’y a pas de choix de menu le repas est imposé. Pour le prix (380€ la nuit) c’est juste inadmissible sachant qu’on a fait 4 hébergement différent et bien moins cher en Afrique du Sud mais c’était de loin le plus décevant. Le seul point positif c’est l’accueil. En conclusion je vous conseille de trouvé une autre réserve privée.

チーターがいるロッジ

チーター目的で滞在しました。２頭いるそうですが、敷地内では見かけませんでした。 朝のブッシュウォークの時に車にのって関連施設まで行き、そこにいるチーターを触ることができました。 ブッシュウォークを楽しみにしていましたが、通常のサファリと同じく車で見るだけで終わったのが残念でした。

Kindvriendelijke safarilodge

Echt een heerlijke plek om safari's te doen, zeker met kinderen. Er heerst een gezellige sfeer, het personeel is allemaal heel vriendelijk. Eten en kamers prima! De cheetahs zo dichtbij zijn super bijzonder!
