Baobeach Villages

Connecting people to people

With our Baobeach Villages in Africa (multiple Eco-Lodges including all round program) we
build bridges between people of different cultures and enable complimentary learning
experience.

The name “Baobeach” refers to the “Baobab” tree, which is widely spread all over Africa –
a lively meeting place. A Baobeach Village will always be located near the waterfront (sea,
lake or river). It will be able to accommodate up to 30 guests and 12 employees and
artists.

The ground plan includes a swimming pool, kitchen, restaurant and a bar as well as a
central dining corner, a stage, a fire place, seminar room, reception, two offices, two
shops (groceries and tailor’s shop), a small quiet park , a fruit- and vegetable garden which
has a facility for keeping small domestic animals (self-supply).

Our guests spend their vacation in one place and immerse themselves into African
everyday life. Because of this they can establish new contacts and learn from each other
while dining, working in the garden, dancing or drumming.
