Overview & Capacity

Bakubung is the workhorse of Pilanesberg corporate safaris: a real 120-seat conference centre at the park's southern gate, a hippo pool below the deck, and enough rooms to keep a full delegate list on one property. It's four-star Legacy product, not boutique, and a few rooms show their age - but for a conference that ends in a game drive and a boma dinner, it delivers exactly what it promises.
