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 items from small businesses all over Canada and South Africa, most of which are handmade. 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 send us an email and we’ll see what we can do. Put together an order as a gift and we’ll personalise 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.

Check out our SHOP for items we have in store!

The Sagole Baobab (also Sagole Big Tree, Venda: Muri kunguluwa (i.e. tree that roars), or Muvhuyu wa Makhadzi) is the largest baobab tree in South Africa. It is located in the Limpopo Province and has a trunk diameter of 10,47 meters and circumference of 32,89 meters. The baobab tree has mesmerised me from the time I took 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 altogether! It only made sense that we share our favourites with our new home and to help fill a void for all the folks who sometimes long for home.

We strive to support small businesses in Canada and South Africa, empower people in need and to fill our store with quality items that was made with absolute love and effort.

On AfriForum Worldwide’s World Guide you not only become part of a business network, it is also a valuable way of building a support network for those days when the longing becomes too much and everyone just seems too far away.

Help your business grow, use this link and make sure your business gets listed on Worldwide’s World Guide.
