READY TO WELCOME YOU

Our team is ready to welcome you to our wonderful little corner of the African wilderness. 

So if you've been dreaming of Africa and an African adventure like no other, or a reunion with family and friends (including your Baobab Ridge family!) then you are free to start planning that long-awaited and much-needed trip! It's time to dust off your passports and dig out your safari clothes!

Just make sure your passport is valid for at least six months and has at least two empty facing pages so that there are no problems with immigration.

TRAVEL WITH A DIFFERENCE

The advantage of staying in a small, intimate owner-run lodge like Baobab Ridge is that you really are made to feel at home and become part of our extended family. This is travelling with a difference, where the quality of your trip and travelling more mindfully take precedence over how often you travel.

It's about seeking destinations that resonate with you on many different levels, and in these challenging times it's about escaping the urban environment, finding the peace and tranquility of true wilderness and distance from the madding crowds. It's also about choosing destinations that are making a difference to people and planet, supporting communities and conservation, where your stay will have a direct, positive impact on these things.

With Baobab Ridge's "matriarch" Nini Gouveris having grown up with a father who was a founder of photographic safaris in Botswana and who has always put conservation and community upliftment to the fore, all of us at Baobab Ridge have always been focused on our kinship with the land, the animals and the people that make the lodge what it is. 

We couldn’t be more excited about the shift worldwide from consumptive to more mindful, restorative travel! The impact this kind of travel has on us is remarkable, with Mother Nature helping to restore our sense of wellbeing and our resilience to the challenges life throws at us. 

Simple things like a walk out in the African bush, interacting with the plants and animals that call the Klaserie home, have the ability to help us to adjust our outlook, refresh our levels of positivity and improve our sense of self. So we are patiently waiting for you to come and visit and kick-start your transformation!
