QING ZOU, "THE LOG-CONVEXITY OF THE FUBINI NUMBERS", http://toc.ui.ac.ir/article_21835_684378fec55e5c66c7fccd4321a84637.pdf

gives the bounds on $f_n$, the $n^{\text{th}}$ Fubini number:
$$ 2^n < f_n < \frac{n!}{(\ln 2)^{n+1}} < (n+1)^n \text{.} $$ The lower bound holds for $n \geq 3$ and the upper for $n \geq 1$.

(Zou cites Barthelemy, "AN ASYMPTOTIC EQUIVALENT FOR THE NUMBER OF TOTAL PREORDERS ON A FINITE SET ", from which we determine the intended base of the logarithm.)
