This is our third time back to Bakubung and it never disappoints. The food, facilities, staff and decor are just amazing and we love the relaxed feel of the place. We will definitely keep going back whenever we can get to South Africa.

Beautiful location. Delicious food. Friendly staff. Animal sightings amazing. Recommend Bakubung to families and travellers. Rooms a bit small for families though.

I expected a lot more from this lodge. The room was old and dated, there were some maintenance issues and the air conditioner was not working properly. Not the friendliest experience I have had.

We had a wonderful stay at Bakubung as a family. I would highly recommend this as an option. We loved the hotel, the staff were amazing, the food in abundance and the game drives spectacular. We will be back.
