6000 Year Old Tree In South Africa

Yes, this tree is 6,000 years old,

But you wouldn't believe when you see the inside the trunk

The Sunland 'Big Baobab' is in Modjadjiskloof in Limpopo Province, South Africa

This incredible Baobab tree has a massive circumference of 47 metres.

The height of this tree reaches over 19 metres too.

The most incredible part of this tree?  Is what lies on the inside.

It is a fun tree bar!
When baobabs become a thousand years old, they begin to hollow inside.
In the Big Baobab this has resulted in caverns and caves, where the world famous Baobab Tree Bar now is.

But don't worry, this bar didn't ruin the tree, it was already naturally hollow on the inside.

The small pub inside the tree was created in 1933.

The bar has 13-foot high ceilings and can comfortably fit 15 people inside.

Besides its remarkable dimensions, this baobab tree is also one of the oldest trees on earth.
Carbon dating has estimated it to be around 6,000 years old
