Flat-top Acacia
The Flat Top Acacia, such as this one at Serengeti National Park, is the archetypal tree of Africa. It is used as a logo for the PBS show Nature, and we saw them all over the plains. We encountered many types of acacia plants and bushes with long nasty thorns. We had to watch where we walked, because some of the thorns could puncture the sole of a shoe. On our ride to and from Ndutu, we drove trough an acacia that looked like a huge green igloo.
