Baobab Ridge Private Lodge

Kruger National Park


Large suites decked out in soothing earth tones in the heart of excellent wildlife country make Baobab Ridge an excellent choice. Freestanding bathtubs and enclosed private terraces are all a part of the experience, while guided drives and walks (walking safaris cost extra) make for a fine bush experience.
