The owner of the "Sunland Baobab", an enormous baobab on the "Sunland Farm" in Modjadjiskloof in South Africa's Limpopo Province, has announced the full closure of the previously popuar tourist spot.
Half of the baobab collapsed in 2017, so that the famous "Baobab Tree Bar" inside the hollowed out tree, was destroyed. Although there is still a branch attached to the root, the famous baobab is not the same as what people usually came to see and experience.
According to Heather van Heerden, former owner ofthe "Sunland Baobab", the land has since been leased to other people who could possibly use it for farming.
The famous Sunland "Big Baobab" in Modjadjiskloof in South Africa's Limpopo Province, known to be the widest of its species in the world, has topped over on 13 April 2017. The Baobab, which is carbon dated to be well over 1 700 years old, used to be 22 meters high and 47 meters in circumference. The trunk diameter was 10.64 meters and the crown diameter was 30.2 meters. Baobabs begin to hollow inside from a certain age and so did the "Big Baoboab". The owners of the farm the tree stands on cleared out the hollow centre of the tree and opened up the world famous "Baobab Tree Bar" inside the "Big Baobab" in 1993. The bar is now missing it's roof.
