Tshukudu Bush Lodge. Pilanesberg Tented Safari Camp. Top 10 Pilanesberg Lodges. Visiting Pilanesberg is an ideal break from the city during the weekend or for a holiday. The lodge is perfect for the traveller or visitor who does not enjoy large crowds.

Unfortuanley wifi was not sufficient but that seems to be the norm in South Africa. There was a safe in which we could keep passports, money and other valuables. The bathroom was much bigger than those in most hotels. The shower itself was outside but completely concealed from view.

One negative feature: the air conditioning was fiece blew cold air over our heads when we were in bed so we had to turn it off at night. There was a free shuttle buggy to transport visitors between our rooms and reception, though it was only a ten minutes walk. There was a small swimming pool near the reception and restaurant. It was a very pleasant place to spend a few hours and have a dip. Unfortunately we missed the occasion when an elephant came to drink from the watering hole in view of the pool area.

Food in the hotel was excellent. The buffet breakfast was generous. Eating breakfast on the terrrace wathching the weaver birds at their nests was a treat. We were fortunate enough to be there on Valentine's night when lodge put on an outdoor dinner with live entertainment in the bush for all guests straight after the afternoon game drive.

This was a magical experience. When we got home they arranged a "stargazing" event by the swimming pool at which one of guides pointed out the consellations in the sky. Staff were extremely helpful. We wanted to be able to leave immediately after our morning game drive on our last day so that we could drive straight to Johannesburg airport. They suggested arrangements including a packed breakfast that meant we did not have to worry about it at all.

The main reason for visiting, however, was to see the wildlife. We had two game drives a day, each of which lasted about three hours. Our guide and driver except for the first was Solly who ws happy to share his knowledge and long experience with us. Pilanesberg had varied scenery including rivers and hills which attract many different animals. We were very pleased to see lions, elephants, zebras, giraffes, many sorts of antelope and hippos on our drives, to mention just some favourites, and not forgetting many species of birds.

As we were with the same group of people on our drives we built up a good rapport. This was a feature of this type of trip that we had not anticipated and was a particularly enjoyable.
