Reserve Information

The Klaserie Private Nature Reserve (to the north of the famous Timbavati Private Nature Reserve), a part of the Greater Kruger National Park in South Africa, presents an unspoilt wilderness where wildlife roams freely.

Spanning approximately 60,000 hectares, the reserve is dedicated to a high level of conservation, aiming to maintain the integrity of this wild African landscape. It is home to a diverse ecosystem, teeming with various species, including the "Big Five", wild dogs, cheetahs and numerous other wildlife species.

The Klaserie also invites exploration with its serene rivers, vast landscapes, and the mystical presence of ancient rock art.

The Nature Reserve provides an authentic and intimate wildlife experience, promising unforgettable encounters with Africa's iconic fauna and flora.

Rooms And Suites

Each suite ensures a private sanctuary amid the rugged landscapes, offering unrivalled views of the spectacular surroundings from the comfort of your bed or while enjoying a cup of tea on the verandah.

The décor of the rooms, inspired by the surrounding nature, perfectly complements the majestic views of the African bush. Each room is thoughtfully designed, featuring clean, modern aesthetics harmoniously married to a classic touch. The king-sized beds, which can be configured as twins if needed, are outfitted with high-quality linens, assuring a restful night's sleep. The open-plan design creates a spacious living area with double recliners - an ideal space to unwind after a day of exploration.

The vast, elegant bathrooms boast a luxurious soaking tub that easily accommodates two separate flushing toilets, two vanity units with hand basins, and an indoor shower opening up to the outdoors, allowing guests to enjoy a unique bathing experience amidst nature.

The Family Suite, situated furthest from the main building, allows families to enjoy their stay together while retaining individual privacy. The Family Suite houses two smaller, equally luxurious en-suite bedrooms, mirroring the same design and amenities as the Superior Suites.

Baobab Ridge Lodge guarantees a memorable stay, transporting you to a world of unparalleled beauty and luxury in the heart of the African bush.

Cuisine And Wine

Every meal at Baobab Ridge is an event to look forward to. The small team of chefs skilfully blend authentic South African culinary traditions with contemporary gourmet trends to offer guests a truly unique dining experience.

Imagine tucking into a traditional 'potjiekos' - a slow-cooked stew rich with succulent local meats and vibrant vegetables - or biting into a perfectly cooked 'boerewors', a South African sausage barbecued to perfection.

The in-house wine selection is just as impressive as the cuisine on offer. South Africa is renowned for its world-class vineyards, and we take great pride in showcasing the best the country has to offer in our extensive wine list.
