A bar inside of the trunk of a 6,000 year old Baobab tree, draws 7,000 visitors a year from across the world, to enjoy a drink beneath its branches.
The one of a kind bar was created for the locals residents inside a massive 72 foot (22 meters) high tree in a garden in Limpopo, South Africa and can comfortably sit up to 15 people.
The ancient tree which had hollowed naturally over time, revealed evidence of former inhabitants of indigenous Bushmen of the Kalahari desert and the Voortrekkers, the Dutch pioneers who travelled through South Africa in the mid-1800’s.
