8Baobab tree, southern Africa

Baobabs are widely distributed across southern Africa, particularly in Zimbabwe and around Limpopo in South Africa. Madagascar is another baobab hot spot, particularly around Morondava with its famous Avenue of Baobabs.

If you get a chance, visit a baobab at night. Their flowers bloom then with the scent of slightly sour milk, which causes huge excitement among bats and bush babies, who come to drink the copious nectar and at the same time, spread the baobab’s pollen far and wide.
