Quite ok hotel but little bit outdated. Good food. Only one game drive per day included and the vehicles used are large, not so comfortable and noisy.

Bakubang Bush lodge experience
Visited Bakubang Bush Lodge over the weekend had a great time rooms were neat and clean. The game drive experience was amazing had no regrets to wake up at early and attend the 5h30 drive. Breakfast and dinner were delicious lots off varieties to choose from and I loved that the menu is different every day. The chefs and staff over this weekend at Bakubang 5th-7th Jan 24 really made our experience special and created lots of memorable moments will definitely come back to experience the bush braai was not aware that a pre-booking must be made and when requested to attend was informed that it was full. A suggestion to start the Bush braai dinner early 5-7pm then again at 7-9pm so that all guests booked have a chance to experience the bush braai when staying over a weekend.
