The facility is nice and the staff are friendly and helpful. This is a place geared for families and if that suits you, I don't believe you can do better. Food is buffet style with loads of selection or you can order from the menu.

We enjoyed the experience of sleeping so close to the animals. Game drives were exciting and very informative. We thoroughly enjoyed having Chu-Chu as our ranger on 2 of the drives. Thank you to all the amazing staff at Bakubang for making this such a delightful experience. We will be back!

Improvements in game drive vehicles needed
Quite ok hotel but little bit outdated. Good food. Only one game drive per day included and the vehicles used are large, not so comfortable and noisy.
