Watch elephants at the solitary baobab on the eastern edge of the pan as they dig for water in the dry season.

What you can experience here

Drive to the eastern edge of the pan, where a single mighty baobab stands alone in the landscape – it gives its name to the entire route. This impressive giant of a tree is a popular meeting point for elephants, which dig for water here. Watch the grey giants as they use their trunks to dig deep holes in the ground to reach the hidden water reserves beneath the surface. Especially in the dry season the baobab becomes a real hotspot.
