Bakubung Bush Lodge

Bakubung Bush Lodge is a resort-style lodge located in the malaria-free Pilanesberg National Park. A mere two hours’ drive from Johannesburg, and ten minutes from Sun City, Bakubung is in the Pilanesberg National Park, a malaria free, 57,000-hectare reserve where you can see the big five from your room, or on a game drive through the reserve. From prides of roaming lions to giraffes, Bakubung will bring you closer to the splendour and beauty of the African bush. Bakubung, or “People of the Hippo”, features 76 thatched roof lodge rooms – curved into a horseshoe around the entertainment areas and boasting great views out onto the bush of the Pilanesberg. The Pilanesberg National Park is set in the crater of a long extinct volcano, a perfect example of an alkaline ring volcanic crater. It ranks as the 4th largest of the parks in South Africa and covers an area of some 55 000 hectares which boast both undulating hills as well as seemingly endless open grassy plains.
