We stayed at Tshukudu Bush Lodge for 3 nights in August, 2010. Everything was wonderful. The staff couldn't do enough to help us - dealt with everything with grace and courtesy. Shawn and Marika were great guides and hosts, and the rest of the staff were just amazing. The food was wonderful, the game drives amazing, the rooms beautiful. Just think of coming back to your room after a sumptious 5 course meal, and finding a fire in your fireplace, a hot water bottle in your bed, and a night cap on your bedside stand!
Be fully aware of the 132 steps to the lodge - we counted them! And you go down/up the stairs twice a day. There are also steps to negotiate from the lodge to your chalet (maybe 10 or 20) depending on where you are located. I have knee problems, and my daughter was on crutches with a broken foot, but we managed - slowly but surely, and it was well worth it. I would definitely recommend a stay at Tshukudu, at least for 2 nights if not longer.
