Trees of Life in Tanzania

By Linda Tancs

The giant baobab is known as Africa’s “tree of life.” It’s an apt description, considering that they’re a source of food, water and shelter for numerous species and are also used medicinally. Tarangire National Park in Tanzania is known for its baobabs. A great way to see the abundance of this national icon is by taking a nature walk in the company of a guide. The best time for a walk is from June to October.
