The Baobab
Four bedrooms wrapped around a private lawn in the shade of the reserve's oldest baobab — with its own chef, vehicle and ranger for the family who wants the run of the place.
The story
The Baobab is the reserve's only villa — four bedrooms wrapped around a shared lawn, built in the shade of a baobab that predates the farm by several centuries.
It comes with its own chef, its own vehicle and its own ranger, so the villa runs on the family's schedule rather than the lodge's. Sunday roast can happen at the villa if that's what the day calls for.
Hold this date for 24 hours — no card required.
