Regarded as the largest succulent plant in the world, African baobabs can live well over thousand years but ages are very difficult to determine.
The dry savannas of sub-Saharan Africa.
Our instructors took us to this unbelievable tree one day, which they simply call "Big Baobab". The tree is located in Makuleke Concession, the northern most sector of Kruger National Park, South Africa.

I am fascinated with the unusual shape of this tree since I saw it first in the movie Australia
Wow! Seems as if the trunk has burst open?
OK, I gave up on the search a little too early. I found it!
Meik, could you give me the link for the tree mission? I cannot find it
Yeah, I was speechless when I first saw this giant. Such incredible trees, and thanks Meik, will do!
Fantastic tree! Would be great if you could add it to "trees of the world"
Incredible! And I thought the Baobab I saw was huge......
