THE BAR IN THE TRUNK OF BAOBAB

This bar in the trunk of a Baobab has punters travelling from miles around for a brew. It has been created in a huge 72 ft high tree in this garden in Limpopo, South Africa,
to keep thirsty locals happy. The tree even has its own cellar, with natural ventilation to keep the beer cool.

The huge tree, in the grounds of Sunland Farm, is so wide it takes 40 adults with outstretched arms to encircle it.Carbon-dating, which can determine the age of organic materials, has shown the anicent tree is about 6,000 years old. "This tree is likely to be older than the Giza Pyramids of Egypt," said Heather van Heerden, owner of Sunland Farm.

More than 7,000 visitors from all over the world come to see the majestic Baobab each year and have a drink in its bar, which has four meter high ceilings and comfortably seats up to 15 people.
