Dorsland Baobab (Namibia)
Age: 2,100
The Dorsland Baobab stands in the south of the Khardum National Park in Namibia. It is the oldest tree in Africa, with 47ft (14.3m) in height and more than 98ft (29.9m) in circumference. In 1883, the Dorsland trekkers camped near the tree and carved the year 1883 on the tree trunk. Again, in 1891, a few German soldiers carved the year “1891” on the tree trunk when they passed by its location.
