Hug a Baobab Tree
Hugging a Baobab Tree means an embrace with often over a thousand years of history. These strange ‘upside down trees’, as they are often called because their branch structure looks more like that of tree roots, are particularly a feature of parts of Tanzania.
I photographed this very old Baobab in Tarangire National Park, Tanzania. It bears the scars of generations of elephant tusks, in its bark, which is so thick as to be untroubled by the attentions of generations of elephants, unlike other indigenous trees.
