Almost each of us can remember how he drank in some unusual place (well, or cannot remember - depending on how much was drunk). But you certainly have never had a chance to sit with a glass of beer in hollow baobab! Meanwhile, in South Africa there is such colossal baobab, in the hollow of which you can arrange not only friendly gatherings, but a whole crowded party.
Baobab - all trees are a tree. Africans use its wood as fuel and building material, eat its fruits, make ropes from bark, turn ash into medicines for colds and fevers, soap and even oil, make glue from baobab pollen … Of course, for this you need to wait 5,000 years until a really large baobab grows in your garden.
For example, such as the one that danced at Sunland Farm in Limpopo province, South Africa. Its girth ranges from 33 to 47 meters (depending on where it is counted) - it turns out that twenty adult men, arms spread out, can barely grasp it! Huge tree became really famous all over the world - also due to the fact that a natural hollow the size of … about the size of a pub was formed in it.
The owners of the baobab, the Boer family of van Heerden, set up a pub in the hollow back in 1933. Under a 4-meter wooden ceiling, surrounded by a completely natural interior (even more pristine than in the colossal tree house we have already described), you can still wet your throat (by the way, the dried shell of the baobab fruit is often used as a glass in Africa), and you can even arrange noisy parties. I wonder what it is like - baobab club life?
