Bakubung Bush Lodge

We were part of an international work group. Overall the accommodation was good and we enjoyed our time together. However on one game drive another Bakubang game vehicle went in from of our vehicle at a leopard sighting. When we asked him to move back he shouted that it was his sighting and that he called it in so he would not move. His name was Tumi. When we reported this to the game drive manager at the lodge he said there had been other complaints about this guy but nothing could be done as he is a freelancer. I can't believe that a complaint is dealt with in such a dismissive manner and that this behaviour is tolerated. I'm sure many of our guests would prefer not to stay there in future.

We had a wonderful stay and enjoyed every minute. The staff and facilities are very nice. Do the game drives yourself to prevent too much crowding at places.

at Bakubung Villas you will enjoy luxurious accomodation with 5* service at a stone throw of the park entrance and with stunning views on the park that enfolds in front of you. This is a really special experience.

I travelled solo and felt safe and embraced in the friendly warmth of the staff and peaceful surroundings. I have visited Pilanesberg many times and Bakubung is my favorite. The lodge is clean and well cared for; the breakfast and supper buffet choices are amazing, and the location is perfect. Thank you Bakubung❤️.

I have been going to Pilansberg since I was about 8. It definitely is the Gem of the North West. Sightings are always amazing and you get to see the big 5. Bukabang is a lovely resort to stay, where you get to look over the water hole, and often see Elephant and other animals up close. Service and food is fantastic, and don't forget to go to the spa. A very relaxing trip. Will always be coming back.
