Celebrating the art of romance all year round!

We do "love" rather well here at Baobab Ridge, and at this time of year, when an abundance of hearts and plethora of red roses are just around the corner, along with that annual celebration of everything romantic on Valentine's Day, we play host to lots of couples out to make the most of "we" time. But there's more to falling in love with love at Baobab Ridge than meets the eye...

You see, we firmly believe that love is worthy of celebrating all year round, and not just the Hollywood version of "boy meets girl" etc etc, but other kinds of love that this magical place of ours encapsulates effortlessly. Bottom line: you don't have to be in a relationship to experience love here in the African wilderness - it's all around you in the incredible energy that wild Africa shares with anyone open to sharing it. 

Whether you're single, married, divorced, widowed, on the queer spectrum or just trying to figure out who you are, the Baobab Ridge safari experience will undoubtedly make you fall in love... With Africa as well as yourself and, if you have one, your partner. And that's really special and worthy of celebrating, don't you think? So don't feel excluded in the "month of love" - come and join us and let's celebrate being in love with ourselves, each other, this incredible continent of ours and the fantastic creatures and plants that call it home.

We LOVE to celebrate love. It's something we excel at. So if you are planning to come and visit us over the "month of love" (or at any other time of the year) and have a special someone you want to spoil and pamper, let us know in advance what you have in mind and we'll take care of the rest...

A romantic sundowner for just the two of you... A private dinner on the pool deck under a canopy of twinkling stars... A picnic out in the bush... A proposal in a dry river bed with bubbly on tap... Candlelit bubble baths filled with rose petals and a fine South African wine... We also host weddings and take care of everything for you, so that all you have to do is arrive with your guests and enjoy the celebrations. 

Singletons take note. If you need to retreat from the rat race and reconnect with yourself and the spirit of wild Africa, we are more than happy to give you fabulous alone time and pamper you just as we would a couple. Whether it's a private massage in the comfort of your own room from our wonderful roving masseurs, an afternoon in a hide overlooking a waterhole, a solo dinner on the pool deck or medidation session out in the bush, feel free to tell us what you need and we'll help you fall in love with you and the world around you.

We welcome lovers of all ages, too, so don't think that a Baobab Ridge romantic safari is just for the Gen Zs! Come and be spoiled by us no matter how old you are, and bring the whole family if you like! Whether you're starting out again with someone new or celebrating a milestone anniversary, it makes no difference. Love is love. And worthy of gathering friends and family around you to give thanks and to share it as widely as possible.

If you shun the froth and frill of Valentine's Day and the commercialisation of "love" then that's fine too, because we tend to agree. February may be the month of love, but you are welcome to come with your loved ones and celebrate being together at any time of the year, experiencing the magic of Mother Nature - the greatest love of all!
