I just love them, they are so much Africa to me, just like the Acacia Trees.
Seeing the first Baobabs in Kruger means, that we are entering one of our favourite parts in the Park,the North.
There are a lot of names for that special tree: dead-rat tree (from the appearance of the fruits), well I don't like that one.
Monkey-bread tree (the soft, dry fruit is edible) and the upside-down tree (the sparse branches resemble roots).
The latter is my favourite.
I just love the idea that the "roots" of that tree reach for the sky and keeping it over Africa.....
Seeing one of those giants always makes me wonder how long they are already here on this earth.
The sight of a Baobab makes me feel at home and bid me welcome.
