A mere two-hour drive from the hustle and bustle of Johannesburg and ten minutes from Sun City, lies a place of breathtaking beauty and serenity. A place called Bakubung Bush Lodge. Concealed in the rich expanses of the malaria-free Pilanesberg National Park, Bakubung, or “People of the Hippo”, offers guests everything they need to get in touch with the bush.

Bakubung Bush Lodge is located in the malaria-free Pilanesberg National Park in the North West Province of South Africa. This park is the fourth largest national park in the country and is home to a large selection of animal and bird life including the Big Five. Sun City is on our doorstep for a change from wild to glitz and glamour. The North West Parks Board manages Pilanesberg. Summer rains and thunderstorms cool on otherwise hot summer days and winters are crisp. The area is home to a wide variety of animal species as well as 360 species of birds.
