 A
mere two hours drive north of Johannesburg and Pretoria and
you'll find yourself in the tranquil heart of the bush. Pilansberg
National Park is home to the gargantuan shapes of Africa's giants
- elephants, rhino and buffalo.
If you're fortunate, you may catch a glimpse of the stealthy
leopard or lion, stately king of the bush. Wild country indeed,
but without the risk of malaria.
If you do head this way, be sure to check in at Bakubung Bush
Lodge - a venue of such excellence that it has been awarded
"Best Bush Conference Venue" at the 2000 Venue Finder
Awards. It was also voted the ASATA\ Diners Club “Best
South African Game Lodge" earlier this year.
