History:

Building up Tshukudu Game Reserve has been a labour of love for the Sussens family.

The Reserve was started in 1980 on what used to be a cattle ranch. Although many antelope species as well as giraffe were already on the property a variety of animals had to be reintroduced. One of the first were rhinoceros, hence the name “Tshukudu” which means “rhino” in Sotho.
