Bakubung Bush Lodge

In the early morning, we'll proceed for a sunrise safari in anticipation of amazing wildlife sightings. By now, you should have heard the iconic call of the fish eagles, common along the river, and learned to recognise it. Hopefully, there will be a matriarchal herd of mother elephants and babies. Perhaps you'll see a savage lion kill, a majestic bull elephant, or a herd of stern-looking African buffalos. There are thrilling encounters around every corner!

Arrive back at the lodge and have breakfast. Freshen up and meet at the lodge reception for your morning bushwalk with an armed guide. In the afternoon, have lunch at the lodge and later proceed for an evening safari. Return to the lodge for dinner as an exciting day comes to an end.
