| Description: 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.
Bakubung Bush Lodge - a venue of such excellence 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.

Client Comments:Hi Lientjie Thanks for your arrangements and followup, It was really interesting experience, staying in the game lodges is very relaxing, the nature there is wonderful where we could see colorful birds and monkeys very closely around the place. Although we didn't see all the big five during the game drives but it was very exciting experience I would like to repeat it again if i have the chance

Sorry it has taken me a while to get back to you............But here is what our thoughts are about South Africa..........we love it!! Pilanesburg National Park and the Bakubung Lodge were really nice. The game reserve is small but we saw lots of animals: cheetahs, elephants, zebras, giraffes, lions, rhinos, hippos, gazelles, springbok etc. The drives were nice and the lodge is really a great place to stay. Good food and service provided. We really enjoyed ourselves and hope that we can return within the next five years............or asap. Thanks for all your help. It was terrific. Lisa
