FR & SA additional one at 00h40Now as for Bakubung Bush Lodge, Bakubung's vehicles and the Bakubung rangers:
Situated very close to Sun City in the south this is most definately the most popular lodge. Accommodation is in hotel rooms and there are some timeshare units as well. You will probably forgive the slack service as the restaurant looks out over a watering hole and occasionally you get lucky while having a bite. Reception is very competent & helpful. Seasonal frogs might keep you awake a bit.
6 guides, 3 senior and 3 junior, using large open top trucks. The senior rangers are most competent, the juniors pretty good. Book drives direct on arrival. Also have the sightings over the last week, month or year accessable on PC.
