Among the giants of the African plains is the iconic baobab tree. These remarkable trees can be found across vast areas of Africa, north as well as south of the Equator, yet they thrive only at specific altitudes and are notably absent from regions of high rainfall. To many indigenous communities, the baobab holds deep cultural and practical significance — revered not only for its immense size but also for the life it sustains, offering shelter to animals and vital nourishment during the dry, unforgiving winters.
