Bakubung Bush Lodge

The Lodge lies just south of the Pilanesberg Game Reserve, tucked neatly at the base of two hills and the chalets have been built in a horseshoe-shape with the waterhole being the focal point in the middle. Bakubung, means “People of the Hippo”.

Accommodation

Bakubung Bush Lodge offers: 3 different types of accommodation- Hotel rooms, Chalets and Villas....

The  76 hotel rooms have en suite bathroom with shower, air conditioner, direct dial telephone, tea/coffee station, TV (with DSTV bouquet), a hairdryer, plug for electric shaver and internet connectivity. The rooms have doors leading onto either a balcony or a patio while some have panoramic views of the Park and the waterhole.

There are 66 self-catering chalets...

The Chalets have two bedrooms with en suite bathrooms, fully equipped kitchen, lounge, one room with a double bed while the other bedroom has two single beds.

Not all the chalets have a view of the waterhole, some face onto the hills behind Bakubung complex or onto the Pilanesberg plains. Glass doors lead out to the covered patio and braai area.

At the end of an adventure-filled day in the park you can relax around your braai at your chalet and experience the sights and sounds as the curtain of darkness sweeps over the waterhole.

The new addition to Bakubung Bush Lodge are their Villas....

Food and Drink

Bakubung Bush Lodge offers different dinning venues: The Marula restaurant, the Terrace, the bar or a Bush braai.

The bar and TV lounge area is next to the restaurant

Breakfast is served either in the dining room or on the terrace. There is an a la carte lunch and dinner menu, or ask about their bush/boma braais. 

The restaurant terrace has lovely views overlooking the veld and waterhole. 

We have enjoyed many delicious meals out here...

Activities

Bakubung offers a range of activities: volleyball, two floodlit tennis courts, children’s playground, natural rock swimming pool, action cricket, outdoor chess, game drives, bush walks or a Hot Air Balloon Safaris. From Bakubung you also have easy access to Sun City, which is just a few minutes’ drive away.

The waterhole attracts a number of animals. We have seen a hippo in the waterhole, waterbuck, wildebeest and a jackal catching a mouse. 

Guided game drives and walks are also on offer.

We prefer to do a self drive into the park, that way we can spend time with the animals.
