🌍Sourced from Limpopo, legend has it that in a frivolous mood, the gods planted Baobabs upside down with their roots exposed to the sky. The lifespan of the baobab trees is impressive and there are specimens in Limpopo as old as 3 000 years. Elephants browse the leaves and strip the bark for food and moisture. Baboons feast on the fruits of the tree while birds (and bees) nest in the holes in the trunk, as most of the old trees are hollow inside. Fruit bats and bush babies pollinate the flowers that only last for 24 hours before falling to the ground to become food for various antelope species.
