Was Gäste sagen

Die Bakubung Bush Lodge erhält viel Lob für freundliches Personal, reichhaltige Buffets und unvergessliche Pirschfahrten. Familienfreundliche Einrichtungen, die malerische Lage in Pilanesberg und die Tierwelt am Wasserloch tragen dazu bei, dass viele Reisende hier einen schönen Aufenthalt haben.

Die Zimmer sind im Allgemeinen geräumig und komfortabel, aber einige Bewertungen erwähnen eine veraltete Einrichtung und gelegentliche Wartungsprobleme wie eine schwache Klimaanlage oder Kühlschränke, sowie Lärm von Zimmern in der Nähe des Pools. Die Buffet-Mahlzeiten werden weithin für ihre Vielfalt und ihren Geschmack gelobt, wobei das Bush-Braai besonders hervorsticht, während einige Gäste die Auswahl beim Abendessen oder den Restaurant-Service weniger beeindruckend fanden. Die Lage im Pilanesberg bietet einfachen Zugang und eine ruhige Basis, obwohl die umliegenden Straßen teilweise in schlechtem Zustand sind. Erwarten Sie einen komfortablen, naturnahen und familienfreundlichen Aufenthalt.

Die Einrichtungen sind familienfreundlich, einschließlich eines Spielplatzes und eines Pools, eines angesehenen Spas, der Möglichkeit zur Tierbeobachtung am Wasserloch sowie der inkludierten Pirschfahrten und Bush-Braai-Erlebnisse. Einige Gäste bemängelten die großen, lauten Fahrzeuge oder fanden die Führung weniger ansprechend.

Have stayed here before and as before the service by the staff was excellent and attentive. The lodge overlooks a waterhole. During our stay a small herd of elephants cam quite close to the lodge (we could view them from our balcony). The restaurant provides an excellent buffet for breakfast and dinne. The wildlife office houses a collection of snakes. From here you can book activities such as the bush walk. The game drives included in our stay were excellent with knowledgeable guides. The resort includes a swimming pool and a spa. Overall, highly recommended.

Bakubung is a lovely resort to enjoy the best of South Africa. It’s access to the Pilanesberg National Park is super and the views are stunning. It has its own waterhole which attracts birds, buck and we were lucky enough to see an elephant there. We found it to be good value compared to some of the ludicrously expensive alternatives in the area. The staff were friendly and attentive. We had a hotel room which included self-service buffet style dinner and breakfast (nothing super fancy but good wholesome food with lots to chose from for all the family) and one game drive per day. The room was comfortable and clean. The fridges don’t work well but the bar provided ice with no issue. The game drives were the highlight. We did a variety of morning and evening. We preferred the evening. We saw four of the big five! The bush braai is great too. Highly recommend for a good value experience.

The set up of the lodge is like a center parcs style safari stay. It may be pricy but if you factor in the game drive and half board, it is actually quite reasonable. The safari trips were excellent with the driver/guide providing excellent knowledge. We absolutely loved the bush braai with African entertainment. The room was amazing with everything we asked for provided with plenty of space. Lovely swimming pool and the view of the watering hole is second to none.

Very nice property with an excellent Spa. The only thing we didn't like was the Safaris. The drivers were rude, not willing to stop to see the animals, and did not explain anything interesting. Just drivers, but not guide,s and it's better to do self-drive safaris

Good location/proximity to Pilanesberg National Park and Sun City. Hotel rooms can do with a makeover as they do show their age. Cleanliness is high though. The dinner selection could vary more and in general the quality of food and restaurant service is to be improved. Also the guide on our drives was very unenthusiastic about explaining/entertaining the guests. Overall in comparison to other game lodges we have visited, they seem to put in less effort to make the experience something special to remember. It seems they don’t need to try harder as there is a constant stream of day visitors and/or time share occupants. All in all, we would not come again, though the location does have the potential to be something more special with a little more attention to detail.

The area is wonderful, the game drives were the highlight of our trip, we saw different animals on each ride. The lodge was good too, the staff was friendly, food was ok, it was a bit noisy to be in a room by the pool but there was no option to select the room location on Expedia. Inside it was a bit dated and there were bugs (but it is in the wilderness so hard to keep them out). There were elephants coming almost to the restaurant which was amazing to see them right there. The entire idea to put this lodge at edge of the park is brilliant, it was a great experience overall

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.

We had an amazing stay at Bakubung! The staff were all so friendly and accommodating. Our flight from Cape Town was delayed by several hours so we arrived at the lodge close to 10pm. Not only did they respond to my email quickly to reassure me that the late check-in would be no problem, but the receptionist quickly guided us to the restaurant as soon as we arrived, as the kitchen was closing and she wanted to make sure we had something to eat before bed. The chef was about to leave for the night, but she stayed to accommodate us. We were so grateful and assured her anything that was quick and easy to make would be perfectly fine with us, and not to trouble herself more than necessary. She asked if pizza was okay and we said that would be perfect. Well… she ended up making us a beautiful salad, a pizza, large bowls of pasta and a tray of desserts! Totally above and beyond all expectations and everything was delicious. The restaurant staff stayed to serve us as well and were very kind. We also happened to get a room upgrade, as the standard rooms were oversold which was a nice bonus. We are so grateful for everyone’s thoughtfulness and extra kindness and hospitality during our stay.
