The project will be affordable, scalable and adaptable. Using resources sustainably, we aim to reduce the impact of over-consumption and waste. Maintaining biodiversity within the settlements, binding nature and landscape together with wildlife.

The BAOBAB Safari Lodges is our new concept designed to be ecologically friendly to the environment and create a luxury safari camping experience inspired by Baobab trees. The Baobab is a prehistoric species which predates both mankind and the splitting of the continents over 200 million years ago. Taking in local materials and culture, we have designed a unique safari lodge that echo’s culture and settlements designed to be a community in any secluded place. Providing a luxury camping experience with our new safari lodges, we have created lodges with pools, wildlife interaction sections and living spaces. Designed to interact with the surrounding natural areas, to combine indoors and outdoors together, to nestle into the wildlife and trees.The lodges will be raised 3.5 meters off the ground to create a secure living safe zone. The experience of feeling up and above and to meet the tree line echoes our concept to create these safari lodges within the wildlife. Instead of having the pool on the ground floor, we have transferred and created a pool on the top floor and high level to enhance the experience and provide a vista panoramic view of the safari zone. We have designed a lower boundary interaction balcony that allows an experience to interact with the wildlife that surround the settlements. To allow users to enjoy the interaction and to be able to feed the wildlife is the experience we want to enhance for the concept. 

The structure of the building consists of a center that houses the staircase to access different levels of the lodge, it also houses the pump for the water to be pumped up and drained down from the pool. The exterior structure is created with local wooden materials, the 40 structural pillars to support the floors and also to house the transparency glass or light-weight material in between. We have incorporated internal foldable blinds that would create privacy when needed and also to allow cooling from the shade in weathers that reach high temperatures. 

The lodge ideally has been designed to house areas for living space. The lodges can be used for couples, small families or large groups. Areas that house storage for luggage and clothing, a small bespoke bar for keeping snacks and drinks, an internal bathroom with enclosed toilet, sink and shower. A Multi-useable living room, working area, and bedroom. 30 square meter pool and plunge deck area with an outdoor shower. The lodges that are nestled in the wildlife, with beachwood exterior styling to create a tropical safari resort development. 

The modules have been designed for easy mobility and to be built up and constructed in large or small lodges. The formations of the modules can self-sustain as a community integrated together to create a small or large eco-friendly community “Eco Safari Lodges”. The idea of creating these luxury eco safari lodges is to be able to bring more people to have interest in wildlife and to experience living in areas secluded and remote with the wildlife. It is seen as a luxury to experience it, but also it can educate and elevate people’s understanding of nature and wildlife.

The Lodges can be used in many different sectors, from housing, restaurants, bars, lounges, spa’s, offices, fitness centers, educational centers, safari park staff facilities, security and watchtower posts and more. The balconies that surround the lodge where the users can interact with the wildlife and feed them, can be installed with toughened glass on the floors to give a different perspective and view of the animals below. While the animals below take advantage of the shade, the viewers can view the wildlife from above.
