Baobabs are arguably the biggest trees we have in South Africa.

They occur naturally only in the far north of the country, and the specimens on show in the Mapungubwe National Park are particularly spectacular.

They’re genuinely enormous peters154, and estimated to be thousands of years old by the time they are fully grown!

  I’ll have to read more about those trees. I’m sure I’ve seen them on nature documentaries but really have not seen them with something like an elephant as a comparison!
