The staff, the food, the rooms, and the game drives were incredible! Our Ranger, Sean, explained so much about the park, the vegetation, and the wildlife. His passion for his work was so evident, and it greatly contributed to the game drives. We were safely "up close and personal" with so many animals ......we even saw a pride of lions!! It was an absolutely amazing experience for our family! Thank you, Black Rhino Lodge!!

This is a magical place, where antilops were passing by our amazing house. Everything was beautiful, cozy, rustic, and the team running it, Cathlin and Paul, are amazing. Paul is an experienced, knowledgeable and very friendly game driver who will do all in his power for you to catch breathtaking visuals of all sorts of animals. Everything was perfect and we would love to be back.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5-Star Review for Tshukudu Bush Lodge – Pilanesberg Game Reserve Our stay at Tshukudu Bush Lodge was nothing short of extraordinary. From the moment we arrived, the service was exceptional — warm, genuine, and deeply connected to the spirit of the African bush. The food was outstanding, a true taste of Africa, beautifully prepared and paired with excellent South African wines. The team made every meal feel special. A huge highlight of our stay was our Game Ranger, Jann Rick (JR). He is, without question, one of the best trackers I’ve ever experienced. His knowledge, intuition, and passion for the wildlife were incredible. On our very first evening, we were blessed to see the Big Five, something I will never forget. The lodge itself is comfortable, intimate, and perfectly positioned in the heart of the wilderness, overlooking a sweeping plain where animals roam freely. Waking up to those views felt magical — true Big Sky Country. If you don’t have the time to travel all the way to the Kruger National Park but want an authentic, world-class African safari experience, Tshukudu is the perfect choice. I will definitely be returning. Highly recommended.

Pilansberg is a 3 hour from Johannesburg.

Pilansberg is a 3 hour from Johannesburg. It is easily accessible however the roads to the Pilansberg are not in great shape. It would be best to take a shuttle than to drive yourself. The park is fantastic with all the animals. We saw many lion, a leopard, many elephants, many rhino and lots more. I highly recommend.

Pilansberg Game reserve is falling apart, literally.

Pilansberg Game reserve is falling apart, literally. This will be our last trip and we have been going for 15+jears. The road to the reserve is horrific but worse is the roads in the reserve itself. The "tarred" sections or what's left of it is one pothole after another, not pleasant to drive at all, even at the 40km speed limit in the reserve. Hides are becoming dangerous, falling apart and the toilet facilities at these hides are TERRIBLE! It is sad to see the facilities in the reserve keep declining.

Pilanesberg has never let us down.

Pilanesberg has never let us down. Even in heavy rain there is always something if you look hard enough and seeing the park in all weathers and different seasons, with the mountains, green spaces, trees, and dams is such a treat. Love every visit! Fish Eagle lookout is spectacular and the salt lick by the visitor centre usually brings in some animals and/or birds toward the start and end of the day - plus the coffee is good.

The wildlife in the Pilanesberg is varied and every game drive we went on was well rewarded with good viewing on the plains. Black rhino reserve is quite different and probably better viewing in winter when less undergrowth.

I was here six years ago. There are much less animals. Looks like they removed hundreds animals to private game drives. It is not Pilinesberg that I saw six years ago. If you don’t want to be upset, choose Kruger.

Tambuti is the best accommodation experience I think I've ever had. Better than any 4* or 5* hotel that I've stayed at, so truly exceptional. The warmth of the welcome, the attention to detail, the thoughtfulness and care - all were just wonderful. Plus we had tremendous food and drink, a beautiful building and location, and a marvellous guided safari experience. Very intimate (just 5 suites) and outstanding in every respect.

Everything was absolutely stunning, truly one of the best hotels we have ever stayed at. We loved the small size of the resort and incredible attention to detail, as well as the amazing customer service from every staff member. The guest rooms were beautifully designed and well equipped. The food was varied and delicious at every meal. The game drives were excellent.
