About Baobab
A South African inspired store
Our aim is to sell high end, quality items sourced with South African
traditions and trends in mind. Be it to spoil yourself, a gift to a
fellow South African or simply for a special occasion. We sought out
items from small businesses all over Canada and South Africa, most of
which are hand made. We especially strive to support projects that
support work creation and good causes in Africa.
What if you have a specific item you REALLY REALLY want out of South
Africa, we can make it happen. Just shoot us an email and we'll see what
we can do. Put together an order as a gift and we'll personalize it on
your behalf!
We are constantly searching and seeking items to add to our
store. If you are a entrepreneur, small business or just someone who
makes beautiful things - contact us if you are interested in working
with Baobab.

The Sagole Baobab (also Sagole Big Tree, Muri
kunguluwa (i.e. tree that roars), or Muvhuyu wa Makhadzi) is the largest
baobab tree in South Africa. It is located in Vendaland, Limpopo
Province and has a trunk diameter 10.47 meters, circumference 32.89
meters. The Boabab tree has mesmerized me from the time I formed my
first steps. It is truly a remarkable, intimidating tree.
I was raised in the Bushveld region of South Africa and have a strong longing for Africa that will never fade.
We immigrated to Canada in 2017 and have been
extremely fortunate to experience and fall in love with another country
all together! It only made sense that we share our favorites with our
new home and to help fill a void for all the folks who sometimes long
for home.
We strive on supporting small businesses in Canada and
South Africa and empowering people in need, to fill our store with
quality items that was made with absolute love and effort.
