The Marula Grill Restaurant is open all day and conveniently located in a central part of the resort, overlooking the waterhole. Diners are often spoiled by visiting elephants coming for a late afternoon drink. Cuisine is a choice of a buffet feast or an à la carte carte menu with an extensive selection of dishes to suit all tastes. Seating is vast and guests can choose to dine inside or outside, with exterior seating available under a covered patio, or on the lawn under the stars. 

Breakfast: 07h00-09h30; Lunch: 12h30-14h00; Dinner: 18h30-21h30. A light terrace menu is available from 11h00-21h00.

On Saturdays and Wednesdays, Bakubung offers guests a unique dinner dining experience under the stars. Be escorted into the reserve by our rangers where you will enjoy a beautiful boma dinner set around the fire and illuminated by the golden glow of lanterns. This is a true way to enjoy deliciously handcrafted cuisine while immersing yourself in nature. Wednesday evening boma dinners are also on offer to in-house guests when occupancy levels allow for this. Please enquire with us directly to confirm our boma dinner days, times, and minimum numbers required.

Our small boma may be booked for private events for 10 - 30 people.

Nestled inside the Pilanesberg National Park, a mere 2 hours' drive from Johannesburg, is the world renowned Bakubung Bush Lodge, a resort with immense status. Imagine waking up every morning with the soothing sounds of the African bush, the soft-textured light that literally calms your  soul and the feeling of being part of an African wonderland. The time of imagining is over. This unbelievable experience could be your reality  when you own an exclusive piece of paradise in Bakubung Villas. Set just outside the main resort and perched upon an undulating hill, are a handful of luxurious villa-style homes, perfect for guests looking for a more intimate destination. Each villa differs in size but all of them have their own private pool and the option to hire in a personal chef to whip up some delectable cuisine. The villas have unrestricted access to Bakubung Bush Lodge and its facilities and are the ideal vacation spot for groups of friends or sharing families.

Adjacent to the Marula Grill Restaurant and overlooking the waterhole, is the Mmakubu Room, Bakubung’s largest conference venue. This space can be tailored for any type of event or layout.

If you are hosting a small conference or require a boardroom meeting, this is the ideal venue. It is a medium-sized room and can accommodate smaller groups comfortably.

We aim to surprise and delight; gala dinners being our special forte. Our banqueting team will ensure that your guests have a truly memorable occasion and impeccable dining experience

When the weather is right, our exclusive poolside experience can be set up and run just as efficiently as inside while your guests enjoy a candlelit, cosmic experience unlike any other.

With a balcony overlooking the park, the Kubanya Room offers guests prime game viewing opportunities while they break for tea or snack time.
