It's not 'different' that makes these lodges special. It is the intention and purpose behind the concept of having an eco-friendly lodge and hence, environment. At the heart of the owners is something true, something real. And that is the preservation of our wildlife and ecological environment. While here, allow some of this purpose to rub off on you.
Offering sweeping views out over the African bush in front of the ridge on which it is built, Baobab Ridge's pool deck is the perfect place for serious relaxation in between game activities and meals!
Overlooking a permanent waterhole that attracts a wide variety of wildlife species throughout the day (and night) - there's always something going on at the pool deck, so be sure to have your binoculars and camera to hand when spending time here.
The camp offers very spacious, comfortable safari units with a unique design. Each unit has: a thatched A-frame roof with supporting gum-pole structure and covered patio; canvas sides with large windows offering fixed mosquito screens and roll-down flaps; double wooden front doors with fixed mosquito screens and roll-down flaps for the top half; a large en-suite bathroom.
Rest assured that you are truly in a reserve that cares for nature and the impact humans make on the environment. Here solar power is used wherever possible, such as for fans and lights. Kitchen appliances have been sourced for a minimal draw and LED lights are utilized throughput the camp and staff quarters.
Nothing comes close to the serenity of the African bush. Wake up to the sounds of the bush, have a lie in with a hot cup of coffee and enjoy the views from your tent, or head out for an early morning game drive.
