Chapman's Baobab is one of the largest baobab trees in Southern Africa. It's colossal six-stemmed trunk has a girth of almost thirty metres. David Livingstone measured it as 84 feet, at a height of three feet off the ground, in 1849.Since this tree is visible from a great distance across the vast Ntwetwe salt Pan, it became an important landmark for early explorers. The large cavity between its main trunks was used as a post office box by travellers from both north and south.The tree is named after James Chapman who had accompanied Thomas Baines on a hunting and trading expedition in the area in 1853.
