The exclusive Bakubung Villas development is located at Legacy’s Bakubung Bush Lodge, within the serene embrace of the Pilanesberg mountains, in South Africa’s North West Province – an area whose history is both rich and ancient. Formed out of the crater of an extinct volcano, these majestic hills and valleys have been home to humankind since the Stone Age. Ancient eyes once watched countless, magnificent African sunrises over this tranquil expanse, just as we are able to do today, and for a select few this could very well be from the deck of their own Bakubung Villa.

It doesn’t take any great leap of imagination to understand why so many people want their own slice of this magnificent stretch of African bush: the peacefulness is almost tangible and the calm and luxurious setting, overlooking one of Africa’s most amazing vistas, is quite simply incomparable. The development offers a mixture of seven mountain lodges and 15 villas overlooking a waterhole and hide. These 22 private villas moreover come in three or four bedroom options.

As a Legacy development, it follows that every detail of every villa has been thoughtfully planned, designed and executed – from architecture through construction and interior design. The thatched roof villas blend in beautifully with their surroundings, while their African-themed décor reminds owners and guests that despite the many creature comforts to be enjoyed inside, they are nevertheless wholly and truly inside the African bush.

With increasing visitors to the Pilanesberg, and visitors to South Africa in general, this development is a sound investment opportunity. The Pilanesberg airport has also recently been upgraded, which means that visitors can easily catch a flight from OR Tambo International in Johannesburg, or Cape Town International Airport, and be sipping cocktails on the deck of a luxurious villa in no time at all.

As part of the greater Bakubung Bush Lodge, with its 76 guest rooms and exclusive resort amenities, private villa owners and guests have complete access to all that the lodge has to offer, from game drives, tennis courts and the glittering pool to the sublime restfulness of the Legacy Balance spa. If it’s a little more excitement you are after, however, there is a regular dedicated shuttle service that can take you to Sun City.
