The inviting safari lodge Bakubung Bush Lodge is located within Pilanesberg Game Reserve itself, just over half an hour’s drive from the well-known and popular Mankwe Dam. Here, you’ll stay close to nature with excellent opportunities to experience the area’s rich wildlife.

The lodge features 100 spacious rooms, all decorated in a classic African-inspired style with natural materials and warm tones that blend beautifully with the surroundings. Each room has its own en-suite bathroom, air conditioning, flat-screen TV, tea and coffee-making facilities, and a private terrace or balcony where you can relax and take in the peaceful setting. Complimentary Wi-Fi is available in all rooms.

After a day on safari, you can unwind by the pool or treat yourself to a soothing spa treatment.

Meals are served in the restaurant, which offers both indoor and outdoor seating. Enjoy your food in relaxed surroundings overlooking the surrounding bush.

For families, Bakubung Bush Lodge is an excellent choice. The lodge is fenced off from the game reserve, allowing children to move around freely within the lodge grounds. There is a playground as well as a Junior Rangers programme, where children aged 6 to 12 can learn about the animals, nature, and life in the bush through fun, hands-on activities.
