Our experience at Bakubung Bush Lodge was disappointing. Our group of 35 guests often felt uncomfortable and not properly welcomed, especially during meal times where we were repeatedly seated separately in a corner. It also appeared that Indian guests received less attention compared to others, which made the experience feel unfair and unpleasant. Additionally, food options for Indian guests were very limited, and even basic requests were not properly accommodated, forcing some guests to arrange meals from outside. Overall, the service felt below expectations, and based on our experience, we would not recommend this property for Indian travellers.

Very disappointing experience at Bakubung Bush Lodge. Our group of 35 guests felt uncomfortable and unwelcome throughout the stay, especially during meal times where we were repeatedly asked to sit separately in a corner. It was unpleasant and did not feel hospitable at all. The staff appeared more attentive towards white guests while Indian guests were largely ignored. Unfortunately, the overall experience for our group felt discriminatory and biased. Food options for Indian guests were extremely limited, and even simple meal requests were not properly accommodated by the chef or staff. Many guests were left with no suitable options and had to arrange food from outside. Overall, the service was unprofessional, insensitive, and far below expectations. Would not recommend this property, especially for Indian travellers.

Very disappointing experience at Bakubung Bush Lodge. Our group of 35 guests felt unwelcome and repeatedly asked to sit separately in a corner during meals, which was uncomfortable and unacceptable. The staff only catered to white guests and ignored indian guests. Through out this racist experience was there for my group The food had very limited options for Indian guests, and despite simple requests, the staff and chef were unwilling to accommodate. Many of us couldn’t have proper meals and had to arrange food from outside. Overall, the service felt biased, unprofessional, and lacking basic hospitality. Not recommended, especially for Indian travellers.

Our experience at Bakubung Bush Lodge was very disappointing. Travelling as a group of 35 guests, we felt a clear lack of hospitality and warmth throughout our stay. During meal times, our group was repeatedly asked to sit separately in a corner, which felt uncomfortable and unwelcoming. There also appeared to be a noticeable difference in how guests were treated, with Indian guests receiving less attention compared to others, which left a negative impression on our entire group. The food was another major issue, with extremely limited options suitable for Indian guests. Even basic requests were not handled properly, forcing several of us to arrange meals from outside. Overall, the experience was unsatisfactory due to poor service, lack of inclusivity, and inadequate attention to guest needs. We would not recommend this property, especially for Indian travellers or large groups.

The accommodation, the food and the staff were just fantastic, my partner who is Australian (I'm South African) just burst into tears of joy with the initial experience.
