Baobab Suite

The view does most of the work

Baobab is the suite people remember. Set on the eastern corner of the lodge, it has a wraparound private deck that follows the rim. From the bed you watch first light come over the corridor; from the bath you watch it leave again twelve hours later.

Inside is hand-built. Mvule hardwood floors, stone walls, a thatched makuti ceiling that breathes through the night. The mosquito net canopy is hand-stitched. The bedside lamps are brass. The throws are Maasai red and indigo blue.

Outside, the deck wraps the corner. There is a copper soaking bath, an outdoor shower under the acacia canopy, two day-beds, and a small writing table. A baobab seedling planted on the deck the year the suite was built (2014) gives the room its name.
