Safari! The ultimate family holiday!
GET AWAY FROM IT ALL AT BAOBAB RIDGE
With only a few short weeks until Easter (this year from the 15 to 18 April), now is the time to start planning a family holiday in the wonderful African bush...
It's hard to believe that the end of summer is just around the corner and that soon the rich shades of autumn will start to break up the overwhelming green that has dominated the Klaserie for the last three months... It's even harder to believe that Easter will soon be upon us, along with another round of school holidays!
Our sensational special discounted rate is valid for the Easter holiday period, meaning that you will still be able to get 50% off our normal rate for you and your family, provided you book a minimum two-night stay. Going on safari in one of South Africa's most celebrated Big Five safari destinations has never been so affordable, so let's look at some of the things that make Baobab Ridge such a great holiday destination...
FAMILY FRIENDLY...
We're big on families and being family friendly is part of our DNA. This means that no matter how big or larger-than-life your own family is, we're happy to make them part of ours! We welcome children from six years old upwards and all of us love having their unique energy around the lodge, keeping them occupied with lots of exciting things to do.
Every Easter we have an Easter egg hunt in the gardens and lots of treats that the Easter bunny delivers! We have excellent wifi in the main area, a private television lounge and lots of space to explore within the lodge grounds. We've also got board games and playing cards, but feel free to bring your own!
For mums, dads, grans and grandads, aunts, uncles and extended families, our pool deck is the place to chillax in between game activities, with its sumptuous sun beds and comfy loungers, cozy couches and sparkling pool, all with views of forever over the Klaserie and a busy waterhole that attracts a range of animals.
WE'LL SPOIL YOU ROTTEN...
You may arrive as strangers, but you will leave as a lifelong member of the extended Baobab Ridge family, and as with all families, we love to indulge those we love! So expect to be welcomed with wide smiles and open arms!
It's also best to leave your diet at home, because our chefs are renowned for dishing up the most delectable food that's created with fresh, locally sourced ingredients and no small amount of love! If you have dietary requirements such as being vegetarian or vegan, that's no problem at all because our chefs have some amazing recipes up their sleeves! You most definitely will NOT go hungry!
Nothing is too much trouble for us and all you have to do is ask if there are any special requests. And if you're celebrating a birthday or special occasion during your stay, let's help you plan something extra special!
A WILDERNESS AWAITS...
The Klaserie is part of the Greater Kruger National Park, which means there are no fences between us and our legendary neighbour! This is the home of the Big Five - rhino, elephant, lion, leopard and buffalo - and also where you can see cheetah and painted wolves (African wild dogs) on a regular basis.
Add to these impressive and iconic animals a wonderful selection of plains game, from zebra, kudu and giraffe to impala, wildebeest and waterbuck (and everything in between) and you are more than covered when it comes to game viewing.
The Klaserie is a bird-lovers' paradise, so if you're keen on our feathered friends then bring a pair of binoculars and prepare to have your mind blown! Our talented guides David and JV are good birders and will help you identify a variety of species both in and around the lodge and out on game drives.
We also offer guided bush walks, but these need to be arranged in advance and are subject to weather and other factors such as the proximity of predators and visibility of the bush. Please feel free to chat to us about this if you'd like to walk during your stay.
Our game drives take place twice a day, early in the morning and in the late afternoon. This is when you head out to explore the wilds of the Klaserie with either David or JV at the wheel to help you interpret the wilderness and its amazing fauna and flora.
SWITCH OFF, RELAX, REFRESH...
Being out in the bush is the perfect way to detox from the stresses of urban existence. So staying with us gives you the opportunity to switch off, kick back, spend quality time with your loved ones and just press the "reset" button.
Sometimes just sitting for a couple of hours, watching wild Africa pass by, is all you need to recharge your batteries. The African wilderness has a wonderful way of helping you to rejuvenate body mind and soul! So spending a few days with us in the heart of the Greater Kruger is actually good for you! What are you waiting for?
