My sister and I stayed at this lodge for two nights to be able to visit Pilanesberg National Park. The lodge is very nice, relaxing and clean. The bathrooms are very modern. The staff, especially in the restaurant, was very nice. The highlight of my stay was Pilanesberg. I did the morning game drive and the afternoon game drive. I... More

I stayed at Bakubung timeshare resort for a long weekend and was most impressed by the excellent facilites, accomodation and close proximity to the Pilanesberg National Park, where we saw excellent wild game including rhino, hippo, buck, giraffe, elephant etc. The food, service and amenities at Bakubung were all great.

Very nice, spacious rooms, all overlooking the game reserve. With an electrified fence keeping wild animals out of the hotel grounds, you do feel very safe, but also kind of like being in 'Jurassic Park'. Food at breakfast and dinner was fantastic, with lots of variety and very friendly staff. The game drives are in large trucks that fit 25... More

In this facility families will find it agreable to stay. You may profit from both Lost City (great fun for adults and children) and the Pilansberg game reserve (equally fun and interesting for the all the family). The facility provides excellent safari services. More

Lovely and cosy safari hotel. My room was excellent - spacy, beautiful. Food variety was vast and food was excellent. Every morning at 6.30 we started the safari. We saw alltogether 70 animal species: big four, snakes, birds and other animals never seen before. Thanks to our good guides Peter and Sirpa. More

This is the first time we stayed overnight at Bakubung, although in the past it had been a frequent lunch stopover for us while driving in Pilanesberg National Park. It was always pleasant eating outside with a lovely view overlooking the bush. But we were very disappointed when we actually spent the night there. We had two rooms on the... More

We stayed at the Bakubung in mid-September and stayed 2 nights. The rooms are very nice and have a local flair. Our room had leopard print carpeting and some sort of thatched roof! Nice setting and peaceful. Staff was friendly although not overly so. The food was good and plentiful although close to the same offerings for each meal (for... More
