Originally a ranger's post set up by James Stevenson-Hamilton in 1928, Tshokwane is now a picnic site with a shop and a restaurant. Its original purpose as a ranger's post was to give overnight shelter, as it was a day's ride on horseback from what is now Skukuza in one of the areas of the park most densely populated by big game and lions. Tshokwane is privately operated by Tourvest and is roughly equidistant by road from Skukuza, Lower Sabie, and Satara. The site offers burgers, toasted sandwiches and salads as a portion of its menu, as well as a selection of cold drinks. Gas braais are also available for hire, and raw foods for cooking are available at the shop. On it was announced that the kitchen at Tshokwane would be closed, but the shop still offered premade food as well as braais for rental. The restaurant area reopened after a renovation on . The kitchen was moved into a covered area outdoors with a large patio area, including both picnic tables and outdoor lounge-style chairs. Much of the seating is under a large sausage tree. Vervet monkeys frequent the site, stealing food and drinks from guests. Tshokwane also sells an exclusive coffee blend made by the Green Bean Coffee Roastery.
