L’Africa è un continente troppo grande per poterlo descrivere.
E’ un vero e proprio oceano, un pianeta a parte, un cosmo eterogeneo e ricchissimo.
E’ solo per semplificare, per pura comodità che lo chiamiamo Africa.
In realtà, a parte la sua denominazione geografica, l’Africa non esiste.

The tree of African legends and pride is called the baobab tree. It's massive trunk stores huge amounts of water. Sometimes called the upside down tree, it's branches look like roots. The tree produces wonderful fruit that are known to be packed full of nutrients.
Africans cherish the tree as legends say that it is a symbol of strength, wisdom and long life. It is a sacred link to their glorious past.
I have been in Africa quite a few times and this is the only time I have seen this tree close up. I heard of its fame and was thrilled to have a few moments to admire it.

The African Baobab tree (Adansonia Digitata) is one of my favourite trees.
Since they don't grow very well here in the Western Cape... I was delighted to have the opportunity to photograph some very fine specimens growing on the banks of the Zambezi river... a few hundred meters above the Victoria Falls.
Legend has it that the "Great Spirit" (God) decided to give a tree to each of the animals on earth. Only the evil hyena was left with no tree. When he complained, the Spirit said, "You can have this last Baobab seedling, but you must change your evil ways." The hyena grabbed the Baobab tree in anger and shoved it (branches first) into the ground. To this day many people call the Baobab the "upside down tree."
Any way you look at it... the Baobab is one of Nature's truly remarkable creations. Making the most of its scarce resources... the Baobab flourishes and even produces fruit on the semi-arid savannahs of sub-Saharan Africa. In fact... the Baobab is among the largest and longest-lived trees on earth. It survives prolonged droughts by storing water in its giant, fibrous, sponge-like trunk, which can be up to nine meters across.
The trunk can be hollowed out to make a shelter, or be cut into water containers. When in leaf, the Baobab produces an edible fruit that has the highest concentration of Vitamin C of any plant. The leaves themselves are rich in Vitamin A, and the shade of those leaves and branches provides a relatively cool refuge for other living things in the sub-Saharan heat.

This photo is showing a bit of the landscape in Ruaha National Park, Tanzania with many Baobab trees in certain areas. It was the dry season, which is better for viewing animals. The rains were expected in November and we were told that when the rain comes, everything turns green very quickly. It must be beautiful when the Baobab trees have leaves.
Many thanks for your visit and comments. They are very much appreciated.
