Bakubung Bush Lodge

Bakubung Bush Lodge is set within Pilanesberg National Park, a malaria-free Big Five reserve of roughly 55,000 hectares, bordering Sun City and about two hours by road from Johannesburg. The park’s volcanic amphitheater landscape of bushveld plains, low hills, and seasonal watercourses supports diverse wildlife and over 350 recorded bird species, making it a practical choice for first-time safari travelers and families seeking guided viewing without internal flights.

Accommodation spans a large hotel-lodge inventory with 100+ air-conditioned rooms and family options. Typical in-room amenities include en-suite bathrooms, satellite TV, direct-dial phones, and tea and coffee facilities, with layouts suited to couples or parents traveling with children. Exact room counts and configurations vary across categories and villa units; confirm your preferred room type and proximity to main facilities at booking.

Facilities include a restaurant and terrace dining, pool bar, swimming pool, floodlit tennis courts, volleyball, outdoor chess, a children’s adventure playground, and babysitting on request. A gym and full-service spa are available, and the lodge’s activity desk can arrange guided drives, walks on designated programs, and access to Sun City attractions such as golf—useful for mixed-interest groups or multi-generational trips.
