The lodge is lovely, game drives well organised. Every effort is taken to ensure your comfort. Our driver/ tracker was polite, friendly and well informed. We saw lions, rhinos, elephants, hynae, jackal, zebra, giraffes hippos... but no leopard! The food is pretty average and your preferences that they ask about are pretty much ignored. I had said no pasta but that is what I got and a bland and tasteless one at that with no sauce. In particular the dinners lack imagination, especially if you are vegetarian.

Great lodge, very good game viewing. No TV on rooms and the WiFi doesn't work properly on rooms if that bothers you- other than that just awesome and great value for your money. Great staff. Would definitely come again.

Tenho uma certa experiência em safáris na África do Sul, Kenia e Tanzânia. Lodge é muito bonito e estruturado, com pequenos chalés de madeira, amplo espaço, banheiro gigante. O atendimento do time é fenomenal, todos sempre com um sorriso e preocupados com o bem estar. A comida é excepcional. Uma das melhores q vi em safáris. Com nosso Guia (David) extremamente experiente (+25 anos como guia, sabia a página exata de cabeça de cada ave nas páginas do Guia), conseguimos ver os Big 5 em alguns drives. Por ser uma reserva um pouco mais afastada do Kruguer comparada a outras, é preciso rodar mais durante os Games para ver felinos. Esse hotel não tem os trackers ajudando o Guia a buscar animais, mas com paciência e tempo (ficamos 3 noites) consegue ser ver um pouco de tudo. Um ponto que estranhei, para esse nível de estadia, é o fato das bebidas não serem inclusas. Nem mesmo os drinks durante a parada de pôr do sol, apenas água está incluído no preço.

Ein tolles Hotel - mit einem Makel: wir hatten Zimmer 5, das leider wirklich muffig / feucht gerochen hat. Ich weiß, dass das Hotel älter ist, weil Freunde vor 8 Jahren dort waren, und glaube es ist einfach renovierungsbedürftig. Auch manche Wände mit (Wasser)Flecken im Haupthaus. Man riecht es direkt beim Betreten des Zimmers und unsere Klamotten haben seitdem gerochen. Hervorzuheben ist aber: tolles Personal das gut englisch spricht! Und tolles Essen, das sehr frisch zubereitet und toll angerichtet wird. Jeden Tag etwas Neues Leckeres. Für uns hätte es etwas weniger sein können, da man es eigentlich nicht schaffen kann und man ein schlechtes Gewissen hat, Essen zurückgehen zu lassen. Der Safari Guide David hat alles gegeben und uns die Big Five ermöglicht! Außerdem eine tolle, schnelle Kommunikation vorab mit Linda! Wir würden sofort wiederkommen und es weiterempfehlen, wenn es renoviert wird.

Super prestations mais safari game décevant

Proprete irréprochable. Bel endroit au milieu de la brousse avec un point d’eau pour attirer les animaux. Tres bons repas et breakfast. Nous avons ete decus par le safari game lodge en 3 heures nous avons vu quelques elephants et girafes, quelques hyene, 1 rhinocéros tout de même. Aucun fauve a part 1 lion de très loin car 5 voitures dessus. Notre guide a beaucoup tourné sans plus de succès. Franchement pour le prix nous sommes très déçus a ce niveau car nous avons vu beaucoup plus d’animaux au parc gouvernemental bien moins cher. Si vous cherchez le confort ok mais pour les animaux la reserve semble bien pauvre.

Bel posto, bella atmosfera. Ma il lodge avrebbe bisogno di un po' più di cura nei dettagli e soprattutto di una migliore organizzazione. Colazione, pranzo e cena andrebbero sicuramente migliorati...ovviamente il tutto rapportato al prezzo che si paga: per circa 700-800€ al giorno, aldilà dei safari, ci si aspetta qualcosa in più.

The HIGHLIGHT of any trip to the Bush - the safari! What makes the difference of the safari is the lodge you stay with. I give a 100/100 score to Baobab Ridge. see my full review at https://www.tripadvisor.com.sg/ShowUserReviews-g471857-d2042245-r667630715-Baobab_Ridge-Klaserie_Private_Game_Reserve_Kruger_National_Park.html

Um sonho de lugar com uma equipe incrível!

Excelente hotel, com ótima localização. A equipara era muito atenciosa, especialmente o Jason que fez de tudo para que fosse uma viagem memorável. O hotel é um sonho, o pessoal que lá trabalha nem se fala. O motorista das games rides (David) foi incrível. Realmente, me senti em casa longe de casa. Voltarei mais vezes para esse maravilhoso local.

Great all-inclusive luxury accommodation in Kruger

We stayed 2 nights in Baobab. From our arrival in Hoedspruitt airport we were treated wonderfully by Jason and the lodge´s team. If you are looking for a friendly relaxed visit to see the Big Five, this is the place for you. We had the opportunity to see a large number of animals in everyone of our 4 rides. Our ranger BJ led us expertly and safely while sharing his passion for the bush And in between rides we relaxed by the pool or were able to have great meals accompanied by excellent South African wine. Our cottage was enormous and beautifully decorated. We do look forward to returning sometime in the future. Thanks Baobab
