Bakubung Game Lodge

A mere two hours drive north of Johannesburg and Pretoria and you'll find yourself in the tranquil heart of the bush. Pilanesberg National Park is home to the gargantuan shapes of Africa's giants - elephants, rhino and buffalo. If you're fortunate, you may catch a glimpse of the stealthy leopard or lion, stately king of the bush. Wild country indeed, but without the risk of malaria.

If you do head this way, be sure to check in at Bakubung Bush Lodge - a venue of such excellence that it has been awarded "Best Bush Conference Venue" at the 2000 Venue Finder Awards. It was also voted the ASATA\ Diners Club "Best South African Game Lodge" earlier this year.

ACCOMMODATION

Our 76 air-conditioned, thatched roof, studio rooms and 66 chalets curve into a horse-shoe around the outside entertainment areas, huddling visitors in cosy intimacy. All rooms have DStv, direct dialling phones, en-suite bathrooms, electric shaving plugs, coffee/tea making machines and a hair dryer.

ACTIVITIES

Your wildlife experiences are best shared at a blazing campfire, while you marvel at the spectacle of innumerable stars at our exclusive Boma Lapa in the park.

• Outdoor chess
• Children's adventure playground
• Natural rock-hewn pool
