Baobab Trees

 

One of the most unique trees we have seen in Africa is the baobab tree. It grows near the equator in northern Botswana. They are very impressive.

We saw them for the first time when we visited Kasane. It was the dry season so the trees had lost their leaves which made it easier to see their form and huge trunks. They store water in their trunks for the dry season.

When we went to family home evening there was a large baobab tree in the residential neighborhood.

This one by Victoria Falls reminded us of an elephant's foot.
