Baobab

Adansonia digitata

Description:

The upside down tree

Habitat:

Arid Savanna

Notes:

My absolute favorite tree. These are the Baines Baobabs in the Nxai Pan National Park. Baines Baobabs were named after the famous painter and explorer of the last century Thomas Baines, who painted this unusual group of baobabs in 1862 during his journeys through Southern Africa.
