Facilities

Not much trumps a cool dip in the pool on a hot summer’s day. The Bakubung pool, with its plethora of loungers and full poolside service, allows guests to lie back, soak up the sun and enjoy a cold beverage or a light lunch without having to move. If you need a short break from the sun, our poolside bar is a great place to retreat to and have a drink in the shade.

For those visiting on business or for those needing a quiet space to get a few hours of work done, our resident’s lounge is the ideal space to retreat to. There are a variety of comfortable seating areas to work from and the area offers strong WIFI signal should you require it.

Family comes first! Bakubung and its facilities and activities make it an easy choice for families. Kids can spend hours playing on our playground which has been fully equipped with slides, swings and climbing equipment. When they are done here, there are a number of other kid’s activities on offer to help keep them entertained.

Keep the kids entertained with our fun and educational Junior Rangers Programme! Children between the ages of 6-12 can participate in a range of fun activities to learn all about our local fauna and flora. They are also given a goody bag packed with a range of entertaining stuff, plus a personalised certificate at the end of their stay.

If you are joining us during the school holidays, be sure to enroll your little ones into the Hippo Holiday Club. Designed for kiddies aged 4 to 12, the programme offers a range of age-appropriate activities to keep your little treasures entertained

We are passionate about wildlife and educating our guests about the incredibly diverse range of animals, birds and reptiles we are home to in the Pilanesberg. Guests can come visit the wildlife center to view and learn about various indigenous snakes from the area, as well as find out about our educational and interactive bush walks, game drives and recent animal sightings.

Join a qualified guide for a game drive in one of our large game vehicles (smaller vehicles available on request) and learn all about the unique fauna and flora that form part of this richly diverse landscape.

With over 360 species of bird and a thriving mix of plant life, this activity provides guests with an active, educational experience in the bush. Learn about the transition zone between the semi-arid Kalahari Desert and the Lowveld and how the extensive bird life here, live and feed on it. It is truly an unforgettable experience.

What better way to stay healthy and active than with a game of tennis? Get your game on with family or friends or get stuck in with the kids - with two floodlit courts available you can play night or day. You do not even have to bring equipment with you because there are tennis rackets and balls available from reception.

Grab your family members and start a game of volleyball and soon, there will be others wanting to join in the fun. There is nothing more social than a game of volleyball and it’s a brilliant way for kids to make new friends while participating in a fun and active game.

For those wanting to keep fit and active on their bush breakaway, Bakubung offers a fully equipped gym adjacent to the tennis courts. Runners can enjoy a jog on one of our treadmills and for those looking to tone up, there are a variety of weights and weight machines on offer. Fresh sweat towels and cold water are always available on site, to ensure you have a pleasant workout experience.
