Oldest Trees in Africa

\These are the Boabab trees that we drive by on the way to and from Bamba every Wednesday and Thursday. There are probably about 20 of them on the way there and they're absolutely fascinating. They're some of the oldest trees in africa and their trunks are huuuuge. There is one that we drive by I havnt gotten a picture of yet that looks like 20 people could stand around it comfortably. They're massiiiivvveee. The guys said it flowers in the summer an they're beautiful. Apparently a tree 5m  in diameter is about 1000 years old and i know we pass trees that are just as big if not bigger than that. They also don't really have any leaves which makes them a little creepy surrounded by all the vegetation but at the same time that much cooler. It's hard to describe without actually seeing them... they're just plain cool :P

Huuuuuge..... and this isnt even the biggest one we drive by i just couldnt get a picture of it this time.

Picture one of those people standing beside that tree and you can kind of understand how huge they are.
