The Big Tree at Victoria Falls is a colossal baobab (Adansonia digitata) located about 2 kilometers from the falls on the Zambian side. Estimated to be over 1,500 years old, this living monument has a trunk circumference of over 20 meters and stands as a silent witness to centuries of history. Visitors can walk around the tree, touch its bark, and imagine the many generations that have passed by. It is a popular stop for those exploring the area, offering a serene contrast to the thundering falls.
Don't miss
- Measure the massive trunk circumference, one of the largest baobabs in Africa.
- Look for carvings and markings left by early explorers and travelers.
- Photograph the tree against the sky, especially at sunrise or sunset.
