Our suites have enough room for everyone


The one thing we inherited when we took over what is now Baobab Ridge is lots of space, especially where our beautiful guests suites are concerned! Light, airy and with room to spare, our six superior suites and stunning family suite offer the perfect home-from-home experience for families of all sizes!

 

At Baobab Ridge we love to welcome extended families to come and share our brand of African hospitality and enjoy spending quality time together. Maybe it's because we're a family owned and run business ourselves, so we understand how special it is to get everyone gathered to share special moments and experiences. 

 

Whatever the case, we are blessed with the room required to accommodate families big and small, with or without children, sleeping up to 16 people in wonderful style.

 

Our guest suites aren't lacking when it comes to size and floorspace, with room for extra single beds in some of our superior suites and a two-bedroom, two-bathroom family suite especially designed for mum, dad and two kids. This makes baobab ridge ideal for family reunions, special occasions and celebrations like anniversaries, landmark birthdays and engagements and even weddings!

 

Combine the family suite with one, two or more superior suites for extended family groups or take the entire lodge out on an exclusive-use basis. The choice is yours and we're happy to tailor a safari to suit your needs. We normally accept children older than six years old, but if you take out the entire lodge we are happy to welcome younger kids as well.

 

All of our superior suites boast huge bathrooms with giant freestanding bathtubs and twin vanities as well as showers you could easily host a party in! The bedrooms all enjoy views out over the bush and the lounge areas have bifold doors that open out completely onto covered, private wraparound verandahs where you can enjoy morning coffee and relax between game activities. 

 

A tea and coffee station and small bar fridge which we can stock with your drinks of choice complete the suite line-up.

 

Our family suite has a smaller lounge and two airy bedrooms, each with its own en-suite bathroom with toilet, shower and vanity. The smaller of the two bedrooms has twin beds that are perfect for children. 

 

Our décor is simple and elegant, with clean lines and minimal fuss adding to the feeling of space and the outdoor-indoor living experience. With rugs in our lounge areas and cool ceramic tiles throughout, the suites make the most of natural climate control, staying cool in the summer and warm in the winter. 

 

All of the suites are solar-powered and air-conditioned, with their own inverter systems ensuring uninterrupted power. There are standing fans for additional ventilation and windows are fly-screened and can be opened to take advantage of natural breezes without allowing access to bugs!

 

Of course, the rest of our lovely little lodge is equally stunning and perfectly geared for family fun, with room for children to play and for adults to gather and enjoy downtime together, either on our pool deck overlooking a waterhole and the rolling landscape of the Klaserie wilderness, in our lounge area that's perfect for board games or upstairs in our private TV lounge. 

 

So, please chat to us about arranging a family safari for you and let's hopefully welcome you and your loved ones to our special piece of paradise here in the Klaserie.

As you traverse the northernmost landscapes of South Africa’s Greater Kruger National Park, you'll occasionally find a silent giant that has stood watch for centuries – the baobab tree. Known scientifically as Adansonia digitata, this majestic icon belongs to a family of ancient trees that also flourishes in Madagascar and even in parts of Australia. Revered across continents for its resilience and life-sustaining qualities, the baobab is one of nature’s great survivors. It's also "our" tree, with young specimens of it growing on the ridge that gave us our name. So, let's find out more about this fascinating African legend...

Baobab Ridge has become a unique sanctuary for two of South Africa's most remarkable carnivores: the banded mongoose and the dwarf mongoose! These small, social predators, though different in size and habits, both play integral roles in the Klaserie’s rich ecosystem and are often seen in the lodge's gardens where they entertain guests with their wonderful social antics.

Elusive, rarely seen (especially in the daylight hours) and almost mythical in standing, the ground pangolin is one of the most fascinating creatures in the Greater Kruger wilderness, thanks to its odd appearance and the ability to survive by exclusively eating one of the smallest of Africa's insects - the humble ant. It's also one of the most threatened mammals on the planet. Let's find out more...
