Yoshi:
You can use the pad_inches keyword to adjust the amount of space left
around the map.
Try this:
from mpl_toolkits.basemap import Basemap
import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
bmap = Basemap()
bmap.drawcoastlines()
bmap.drawparallels(np.arange(-90,91,30),
labels=[1,0,0,0])
bmap.drawmeridians(np.arange(0,360,60),
labels=[0,0,0,1])
plt.savefig('bboxtight.png', bbox_inches='tight',pad_inches=0.45)
