An Easter holiday here at Baobab Ridge offers you the perfect opportunity to explore our little piece of African paradise here in the heart of the Greater Kruger with your friends, family and loved ones. By taking advantage of our fantastic South African special offers getting away from it all becomes even easier with a massive 50% discount on our usual rates reducing the strain on your holiday budget. And getting away from the madness of city life is the ideal way to beat the COVID-19 blues, reboot mind, body and soul and spend much-needed time with your "tribe".

You couldn't choose a better spot, either. Thanks to the incredible rains we've had and are still experiencing in the form of isolated downpours and showers, the lush green wilderness that surrounds us will continue to support our wildlife well into winter, which traditionally starts on 1 June. Our dams and waterholes are full and should also last for the duration of the dry season.

We're often asked if game drives ever get boring! The easy answer is no, they don't, because every single day in the African bush is different to the last. You can travel the same roads time and again and they will never look the same thanks to the constantly changing light, and because you never, ever know what is waiting around the next corner, the excitement of what you may see is palpable, making each game drive truly special. 

So what might you see? We can never guarantee anything, because Mother Nature is in control here and no matter what, it's always a privilege to be out in the wilderness, exploring her highways and byways.

The game viewing at the moment is out of this world, with members of the Big Five spotted regularly on our morning and afternoon game drives. Indeed, our big cat action has been fantastic of late, thanks to the presence of one of our local lion prides. Food is abundant and while some babies are still being born, most are now in their second and third months, so are growing nicely. 

A safari at Baobab Ridge is about more than just searching for iconic wildlife species though... It's about immersing you in nature, showing you how the wilderness works and the intricate, interwoven threads that hold it all together... It's about sharing the spirit of Africa with you, teaching you about the amazing plants and animals that live here... And it's about people too - our wonderful Baobab Ridge family which as a guest you will become indelibly part of.

So here some images of a few of the incredible things we've seen out on safari over the last few weeks, courtesy of our good friend Marjolien Schipper-Rutten of TravelMood.
