BAOBAB Luxury Safari Resort takes the form of a complex of beech lodges, drawing from the typology of a local community settlement and the shape of the ancient baobab tree.

The architects incorporated into each accommodation technology to produce drinking water from the air: the system produces water from moisture, collecting and condensing moisture from the air to produce healthy, clean water for drinking. The resort distributes water to communities where there is a shortage and the architects emphasize: “With this project we aim to make the most basic need for water accessible rather than a luxury experience and prevent hunger, thirst and disease and death caused by the lack ».
