Mission.
To imitate the Baobab Tree - Reduce, Reuse and Recycle. We want to create awareness that we can all make a difference. By using a combination of alternative building methods, smart design and technologies lowering our carbon footprint, we can create that awareness and still offer sophistication and comfort without excess to our visitors. Our carbon footprint is lowered in many ways. First and foremost our building is green – more than 80% of the structure consists of recycled organic material that is super insulated and soundproof.
About Us

Enjoy a Kruger safari every day in open safari cruisers in search of the Big 5 (lion, elephant, rhino, leopard and buffalo) and other elusive African game. Safari cruises are conducted by expert rangers and promise an unforgettable safari.

Description.
​
Our inspiration was drawn from the Baobab. It can undergo a huge amount of mutilation, and still continue to thrive and heal. For some cultures it is the tree under which man was born. It is a symbol of endurance, conservation, creativity, ingenuity and dialogue. The great baobab tree — the tree of rest and resolution. The five leaves of the Baobab Tree resemble an outstretched hand, hence its Latin name Adansonia Digitata, as if reaching out in friendship. Baobabs create their own ecosystem with hollowed-out trunks, leaves, foliage, nectar, fruit, and bark providing habitats for many different creatures, just as the Green Kruger Lodge aims to provide luxury accommodation to its guests while treading lightly on nature and giving back to the community. The baobab's bark, leaves, fruit, and trunk are all used. The bark of the baobab is used for cloth and rope, the leaves for condiments and medicines, while the fruit, called "monkey bread", is eaten. Sometimes people live inside of the huge trunks, and bush-babies live in the crown. Some baobabs can store up to 120,000 gallons of water from the rainy season to sustain themselves through the dry times. .
