A little disappointed with the quality and overall experience.
The plates were chipped, which in our opinion is not up to standard for a 4 star lodge and the restaurant was also not up to 4 star standard at all. Half of the ingredients on the breakfast menu were not available and a substandard meal was served without any explanation. The wine glasses were also not 4 star and the waiters were quite ignorant of the menu.

Unpleasant!
Loud music played during 2 of the 3 nights until as late as 06:00 in the morning. Is ridiculous and the lodge has done nothing to manage/stop it. If you are looking for a quiet and peaceful weekend getaway Tshikwalo is not the place. Restaurant's food is not up to standard and is not what you pay for. Braai facilities at our room/on the stoep were also not cleaned every day.

Wonderful few days.
We enjoyed our time so much we wanted to book two extra nights. The chalet rooms are beautiful and comfortable and practically furnished with a nice fireplace and porch. The service was excellent and the on-site restaurant has a very nice view of a small pond with giraffes, goats and warthogs that came to drink water there. The food was also very tasty. The lodge is located close to the main entrance as well as the Safari Mall. The game drive and picnic were delicious and I would highly recommend them. We can't wait to go back again soon! Very nice gardens that are well maintained.

Excellent getaway within Gauteng.
Facilities are excellent, neat and clean with everything you could need. The children enjoyed the upstairs bedroom, the railing is high enough that nothing can go wrong. Only thing is to get to the upstairs bedroom you have to go to the stairs outside. The stairs are covered though and the door can lock to the room upstairs - is just a bit cold in the winter. The braai facilities are also excellent, covered braai, detached braai and the boma with the necessary to cook your meat there as well.

We had our quick getaway and came to celebrate my birthday at Tshikwalo Lodge at the same time! Chalet is beautifully clean and luxurious with white percale cotton sheets, the restaurant staff are extremely polite and helpful. I feel for a 4-star lodge there could be a little more finishing with their food presentation.

It was a very pleasant experience inside the lodge.
Tshikwalo is an ideal destination and the staff who work there are very nice and helpful. The service at the restaurant is a bit slow, but the food was good. A bath or electric geyser in the chalets will certainly add value - the shower heads must be turned at specific angles to effectively release hot water. It's quite a struggle, especially with children. However, the overall experience at Tshikwalo was very good.

Had a great stay. Enjoyed the game drives, although it is a bit expensive if family of 4 (4x300). Everything worked. However, think the campsite should be moved further away from chalets. Access to chalets is through the camping area. Children play and ride bikes in the road. The chalets could also have been placed further apart. (Something for the future).

Ongelukkig hang dit baie af hoe die diere in die park beweeg en as dit jou gelukkige dag is sien mens wonderlike wild.

Ons het die reservaat baie geniet. Baie reën en donderstorms ervaar, maar gelukkig was die dreinering in die karavaanpark goed!

We really enjoyed the reserve. Experienced a lot of rain and thunderstorms, but luckily the drainage in the caravan park was good!
We really enjoyed our stay at Tshikwalo and especially appreciated the green lawns. There are various activities to suit everyone's taste, lots of wildlife and even a few 4x4 routes here and there!

Delicious.
Reception called us when the elephants were at the camp. Would appreciate if cleaners locked the door of chalet after cleaning. Was in the forest all day and in the evening came back to chalet which is open every day. Although we brought this to reception's attention, they still didn't lock the door. Fortunately, nothing got lost. They didn't sweep the floors either and there wasn't a broom so we could do it ourselves.

It was pleasant in the chalet. All the amenities are there and the service is good. It's nice to stay like this in the reserve and hear the wild and field sounds in the evening. We did not see lions and elephants, but many goats, zebras and black wild cattle, also ostriches. It was a quiet few days.

We were pleasantly surprised with Tshikwalo Lodge. Had a nice clean, quiet and pleasant stay. Nice favorable rates for senior citizens and can happily recommend the place. Restaurant great service and nice lookout where elephants come to drink water. Ablutions and residential units very clean and serviced daily. Feel free to visit. Only suggestion is to install air conditioners in the apartment. Can get quite hot in the rooms, but thank you for the fans which did bring some relief.

Accommodation is very neat and clean, but the shower is a big problem.
The shower has no shower door or curtain and the type of shower head causes the entire bathroom floor to be wet after a shower. The hot water system is a gas heater and the shower has a mixer. The two do not work together and it is impossible to set the mixer so that you get constant temperature water in the shower. It is either too hot or too cold and the temperature changes continuously which makes it impossible to enjoy the shower.

Absolutely excellent-will visit Tshikwalo again.
Third time we visit Dinokeng and eat at Tshikwalo every time. Food excellent and affordable. Owner, manager and staff very helpful and friendly. Saw many animals. Accommodation well furnished and clean. However, an interior curtain at the sliding door would be appropriate for more privacy. Personally, I think that the "self drive" permit should be included in your stay.

Relaxing
We were looking for a few days' getaway and booked Tshikwalo Lodge. We were there during the week so it was really quiet. Everyone, even the people who worked in the garden were very friendly. The little house was cosy and cleverly appointed. Was wonderful to sit on the patio and watch the giraffes and to listen to the bird song, what more do you want. I'd recommend Tshikwalo Lodge anytime and am already planning my next visit.

Peaceful getaway.
Tshikwalo Lodge is a small area within a stunning reserve. We checked-in for a getaway weekend in August. We were consumed by beautiful nature and it was very difficult to leave. The little house is basic and beautiful - stunning white linen and king-sized bed. We did a late afternoon game drive and saw zebra, wildebeest, giraffe, blesbuck, and kudu. We were ons the heels of a herd of elephants, but we coulnd't find them. I recommend Tshikwalo Lodge and wil surely return.

Dear Clement,
Thank you for choosing our lodge for your weekend break away. I was sorry to hear that you left on Saturday evening because of the scorpion you found in your shower. You also asked for your money back for that evening.
We are a lodge in a big 5 game reserve with lots of game and wild animals. We take every precaution possible to try and keep our chalets free of insects like fumigating every few weeks. You would have noticed that we placed a bottle of Doom as well as a spray mechanism also with Doom to try and keep all insects out of the chalets.
With all the rain we had lately small insects do tend to try and find safety in the chalets. I was sorry to hear that you wanted to leave and not stay for another night. I feel you cannot held me responsible for an incident like that. The manager was there immediately and removed the scorpion from your chalet and checked for other insects. I hope you will understand.
Hope to hear from you soon.
Regards
Lucia
