Pilanesberg National Parks 55,000-hectares of rich bushveld make it one of the largest parks in South Africa. Formed in the crater of a long extinct volcano,the park also boasts an impressive list of residents that include lions,elephants, hippos and crocodiles. Oh, and you! Well, thats if you choose to enjoy the magic of the Bakubung Bush Lodge. The Lodges chalets are the epitome of peace and tranquility and provide guests with a true bush experience, without any of the hassle. Comfortable,stylish and alive, the whole resort quivers and vibrates with a vital energy.The Lodge has its very own Boma Lapa, large bonfire and cooking area, where resident master-chef, John Wainwright, will drive your taste buds wild with an amazing African braai (BBQ).
African safaris are definitely on the menu and the adventurous can head off on foot or, if youd prefer, you can enjoy the comfort of a canopied game-watching vehicle. Obviously, after the excitement of shooting rhino, zebra, giraffe and lion (with your camera), you may like to relax by the pool while your kids demonstrate how a croc takes its prey. Too cold? Let them go wild on the tennis or volleyball courts instead. At days end, as you sit gazing up at the breathtaking canopy of stars listening to the evening chorus of hyenas, hippos and a hundred other unseen performers, youll realise that you’ve fallen for the allure of the wild. The Bakubung Bush Lodge is more than a holiday; its where your love affair with Africa begins.
Sun City and The Lost City are just 10 minutes away by Bakubung shuttle.
