The Baobar Tree

Believe it or not, this picture had to be taken 50 meters away just to catch its width! Not even 15 people could hold hands around it! The sheer size...

See the size of the car compared with the tree? And Susana's hand?

In the heart of Kruger National Park, this tree is believed to be 3000 years old (!), estimated by its width. As the tree gets older, it becomes hollow. When it dies, it crumbles into tiny pieces, hardly usable in a bond fire.

Still, it stands inponent amidst the bushes...

Thank you Susana for the photo.
