Setting the Bar High for Waterberg Dining
Since its opening in recent years, BABOHI has set the bar high for luxury dining in Waterberg or anywhere in the three-hour radius from Johannesburg. It provides an ethereal escape from the city but is close enough to access for a spontaneous weekend away.
From bush breakfasts to boma dinners, BABOHI offers standout dining of both contemporary and traditional safari tastes. Group sommelier Marvin Gwese has done a superb job of curating a collection of boutique Cape wines that you can enjoy while looking out over the pool and onto the Waterberg horizon.
