What you can experience here

Follow in the footsteps of early explorers and visit the more than 2,500-year-old Chapman’s and Green’s baobabs. These ancient giants once served travellers as waymarkers and even as a postbox in the middle of the wilderness. While the mighty Chapman’s Baobab, also called the “Seven Sisters”, still puts out new shoots today, Green’s Baobab bears the carved names of early expeditions from the year 1852. This is a place full of history and a spirit of adventure, where you can feel the fascination of times long past.
