We spent three nights at Bakubung in a basic hotel room that overlooked the 'bush'. I'm amazed at the other reviews that commented on their view, as the 'bush' contained 5 wart hogs when we were there; nothing else except birds. The breakfast buffets were excellent, but the evening buffets were not to our tastes. One night, the food was... more

The Bakubung lodge is quite nice. It is also an RCI gold lodge, which I didn't know till I got there. The game viewing and lodge is nice. Food is excellent with several choices. There is a nice bar and lounge area, with fireplaces. My room was very nice. TV had 13 channels, comfortable beds, bath was nice. My room... more

Quite easy and fast to reach, about 1 1/2 hour drive from Johannesburg Int'l Airport Been there for the 3rd time after long and place is still up to the mark Rooms are well appointed, clean and spacious, love to see from the bathtub out into the bush :-) Directly on the fenceline to the Pilansberg National Park, so if... more

We stayed at Bakabung for a couple of nights after some intense game viewing on Kruger. We thought we'd like to just chill before ending our holiday at Tshukudu (further into Pilanesburg). It was an ideal choice as, despite being somewhat corporate in style, we found the experience extremely relaxing and we were never made to feel overwhelmed by the... more

My mum n dad n me plus two other families went to stay at Bakubung and we thought it was great. First of all, the check-in went very smoothly and the staff were very welcoming and hospitable. The rooms are beautifully designed and really capture the African theme. Also the fact that from your room you can look out to... more

Spent 3 nights there. Good location and lodge more than adequate for needs. The complex has hotel type rooms for overseas tourists and separately there were a number of time-share chalets. Very safe complex and malaria free. As september still very much a low season and therefore only two game rides available each day either at 6am or 4pm. Very... more

We spent four nights in Bakubung in August 2006 and I could not fault the place one single bit. The staff were wonderful, the accoomdation was lovely, clean and authentic (i.e. sleeping under a thatch roof). The games drives were fantastic and the rangers were very knowledgeable and helpful. The place is so relaxing. We loved every minute of it.... more

We stayed here July 5th and 6th 2006. Our group had 2 rooms, 309 and 308 next to the main restaurant building. Room was very nice: animal print carpets, comfortabel king beds, folding screen doors in front of the tub, and a mere 10 feet of lawn between our porch and the electric fence for the game. The lodge surrounds... more

We paid a fleeting visit to Jo'burg on a stopover, and so were looking for a game park close by that we could visit for a day or 2. Pilanesburg was ideal, and Bakubung, on its edge, was fantastic. The staff were so naturally friendly, and seemed genuinely pleased to see us - right from the time you arrive at... more
