The Palace of the Lost City hotel guide. Independent hotel in The Palace of the Lost City, Moses Kotane

We upgraded to an executive room and had a fantastic ground floor room with un interrupted views to the watering hole .Room No.314. Well worth the extra. We saw monkeys, wilderbeast and warthogs around the lodge, but not much else, except for butterflies and a few birds. Lovely large outdoor pool area, water very cold though. We were half board and the food was excellent. Drinks very reasonable. We had 2 game drives included, one at 6.am and one at 4pm. We saw much more on the 6.00am drive,...

Just spot on. All the comforts of a good lodge surrounded by excellent game within several hours of Joburg and if you're lucky you can be charged by elephant and stalked by leopard at night, before retiring to the bar for a big G&T and prepping for the morning balloon ride. Very good food guarenteed to make you heavier than when you arrived. Staff throughout are efficient and lovely. Must do; the waterhole hide at the end of a 200m tunnel. Super place and will go back asap.

Great location, close to Sun City. All the Staff so friendly and helpful.

A very clean hotel with lovely views. Staff were all very friendly and helpful.

Lovely clean accommodation

On arrival the staff were fantastic, helpful and polite our room was spotless and the inclusive breakfast out of this world, easy parking and large pool and bar

A truly wonderful experience from start to finish. Beautiful location, superb service and unforgettable game drives. Luke, our ranger, made sure that he passed on his passion for the wildlife in the park and was also a superb host along with Shawn.

Staff courtesy was excellent the room was due refurbishment after we left. Shuttle was frequent to other resorts and shops. One concern is that you are not allowed in the palace

Everything about the Lush is magnificent. We just spent 3 nights during the Easter break as part of our South African honeymoon and it was pure magic. From the rooms, to the lodge, the food to the lovely people that hosted us, Lush really exceeded our expectations. A big thanks to Gloria, Andrew, Prince and our awesome guide Des. We will definitely be back!

Great Lodge. Very high quality. The guide for the included Game Drives was excellent - thank you Sam!

We had a fantastic night's stay at Bakubung. We had a quick tour of the park before check in and then went for a swim and had a braai. It really was stunning and had everything we needed - except firelighters, we had to go to a local village to get that. The staff were friendly and so helpful! Honestly an amazing stay, wish we could have stayed longer!

Great place. Definitely coming back soon.

Having deliberated for some time wether to go with the herds at Sun City or one of the much more expensive lodges over that way we opted for the much smaller Black Rhino hoping for a more personal bush experience. Here is a small overview of our stay........ The drive from Johannesburg airport took around 3 hrs, were were welcomed at the gate by a security guard called "Lucky" who after taking some details and giving us a map to the lodge mentioned that we might see a Lion by a watering hole we...

Lovely hotel- we arrived early from the UK and were allowed to check in very swiftly despite the official check-in time not being for many hours- The room was clean, beds comfy, staff attentive, pool lovely, and the added hippo walkway was also a big hit. We found it to be excellent value for money and would recommend it to all our friends

Was clean and spotless
