ABOUT US –
YOUR HOSTS AT THE BAOBAB BUSH LODGE

A Lifelong Passion for Travel and Wildlife

For as long as we can remember, we have been driven by an insatiable curiosity to explore the world, immersing ourselves in new landscapes, cultures, and wildlife. Our love for travel has taken us to many incredible destinations, but nothing has ever compared to the magic we felt during our very first trip to South Africa in 2007. The moment we set foot here, we were captivated by the breathtaking beauty of the African bush, the rich diversity of its flora and fauna, and the warmth of its people. It was on this first journey that we completely lost our hearts to this beautiful country.

The Dream of Our Own Luxury Safari Lodge

Over the years, we were fortunate to return time and again, sharing these adventures as a family and deepening our bond with this extraordinary land. Our passion for wildlife and the unique safari experiences South Africa offers led us to fulfill a lifelong dream: creating a luxury safari lodge where guests could enjoy an authentic, private safari experience in the heart of the bushveld.

The Unique Location of The Baobab Bush Lodge

Nestled in the heart of the Lowveld near Hoedspruit, The Baobab Bush Lodge is a small, exclusive lodge offering luxurious Hoedspruit accommodation just a short drive from Kruger National Park. Here, giraffes, zebras, and other iconic African wildlife roam freely across the property — sometimes stopping by the pool for a drink — offering guests the rare privilege of staying in a wildlife lodge where nature comes right to your doorstep.

Our Mission: Authentic Luxury and Connection with Nature

Our goal was simple: to create a safari lodge in South Africa where guests can escape the noise of modern life, reconnect with nature, and experience the wonders of the African bush in comfort, privacy, and style. At The Baobab Bush Lodge, you’ll discover a unique blend of luxury and authenticity that allows you to immerse yourself in the sights and sounds of the bushveld.

Welcoming Guests from Around the World

Since opening our doors, we have been honored to welcome guests from around the world, each of whom has brought their own stories, laughter, and energy to our lodge. Many have told us they arrived as guests but left feeling like part of the family — something we cherish deeply.

Personal Attention and Tailor-Made Safari Experiences

What truly sets The Baobab Bush Lodge apart among South Africa safari lodges is the personal attention and warm hospitality we provide. As your dedicated hosts, we are here to help you create a tailor-made safari experience you will never forget. We’re ready to assist you with planning every detail of your stay, whether you dream of sunrise game drives in Kruger National Park, private bush walks, romantic dinners under the stars, or simply relaxing by our pool as wildlife grazes nearby.

Sharing Our Love for South Africa’s Culture and Nature

Beyond safaris, we love sharing our knowledge about South Africa’s fascinating ecosystems, local cultures, and history. We’re always happy to recommend our favorite restaurants, hidden gems, and unforgettable activities in and around Hoedspruit. Whether you’re a first-time visitor to Africa or a seasoned traveler, we strive to create moments of wonder and connection that will stay with you forever.

Experience Luxury Safari Accommodation Like Never Before

At The Baobab Bush Lodge, you will find a place where luxury safari accommodation meets authentic wildlife experiences, where every sunrise brings new adventures, and where the serenity of the bushveld restores your soul. We are grateful every day to call this incredible place our home and to share it with guests who come seeking adventure, tranquility, and inspiration.

We look forward to welcoming you personally to The Baobab Bush Lodge and helping you create memories to last a lifetime.

Warm regards,
Your hosts at The Baobab Bush Lodge
