As the convoy continues to move forward, you can see very thick baobab trees on the side of the road from time to time.

There are many of these peculiar-looking trees in the Wanji National Forest Park, and most of them are hundreds of years old. This peculiar tree produces fruit as large as a football, a large loaf of bread, and a sweet and juicy fruit, making it a favorite food for monkeys, orangutans, elephants, and other animals. Therefore, every year when this number of fruits is ripe, the monkeys come in groups and climb the trees to pick the fruits to eat, hence the name "baobab".

The trunk of the baobab tree is generally thick, and the canopy of this tree is nothing compared to its excessively thick trunk. The reason why baobab trees grow into this virtue also has a great relationship with the environment in which they grow.

The dry season and rainy season of the African savannah are very obvious, in order to be able to survive the dry season smoothly, the tree of baobab is very loose, the so-called strong outside and dry in the middle, the outside and soft on the inside, it is this kind of tree. Take the baobab tree in front of him, which has at least seven or eight meters in diameter at breast height, the pistol that the bear carries with him can easily penetrate this tree with one shot.

It is precisely because of this characteristic of the baobab tree that its wood is very good for storing water. During the rainy season, it uses its thick body and soft wood to replace its root system to absorb and store water. Its xylem resembles a porous sponge and contains a lot of water in it. Whenever the dry season comes, it quickly strips all its leaves in order to reduce water evaporation. Wait until the dry season and enjoy it slowly. When it is full of water, it will grow leaves and large white flowers. It is said that it can store thousands of kilograms or more of water, and it can be called the water storage tower of the wasteland. If you get lost in the savannah, just be able to find a baobab tree. Relying on the water stored in its trunk alone is enough to keep you for half a month or even a month.

It's the dry season in Zimbabwe, so these baobab trees have long since lost all their leaves, leaving only a thick trunk and a bare canopy, and those who don't know think they are dead trees.

In addition to these very African baobab trees, there are many other beautiful sights along the way. After walking for about an hour, the car turned from the road to a dirt road, and after running along the dirt road for about ten kilometers, it came to the campsite.

The camp was small, or at least looked very backward from the outside, because the camp, called "Bakabaka", consisted of only four or five wooden houses.

The camp was neatly located at the junction of a forest and a grassland, and the five wooden houses were in the woods. But as soon as you go out, you can see the vast prairie. About 200 meters away from the campsite, there is a river that is not very wide and a small lake.

The Baka Baka campsite looks simple on the outside, but the interior is extremely luxurious and comfortable, quite like the wooden house where Xuanyuan Gongsheng lived. These wooden houses are prepared for Europeans and Americans, and they are not only equipped with all kinds of electrical appliances, but also have solar water heaters and independent baths. It's almost no different from the suites of those star hotels outside.

This huge contrast also surprised Tang Feng and his party. They never imagined that in this grassland, which is almost the most primitive in the world, there are such advanced rooms to live in.

However, the cost of staying here is not low, more than 300 dollars a night for a person, and if you are outside, this is almost the price of a luxury business room.

The hosts here are a black couple and two children. That black brother is about thirty years old, and he is an out-and-out local native. However, he has been running this camp here for almost eight years, and he can be regarded as an alternative and wealthy among the local natives.

The lunch was prepared by the black sister-in-law, all of which were unique local ingredients, and what interested Tang Feng the most were the few baobab fruits the size of a football.

The fruit of the baobab tree is somewhat similar to that of a coconut. However, the fruit of the baobab tree is much longer than the coconut, a bit like a rugby, but much larger than a rugby ball. The fruit of the baobab tree can grow up to more than forty centimeters long and weigh up to twenty kilograms. However, the fruits of these baobab trees in front of me are obviously much smaller.

However, it is good to be able to eat baobab fruit at this time, because it is the dry season, and according to the time, there should be no fresh baobab fruit at this time.

It seems that both the black brother and the black sister-in-law have a way to preserve the baobab fruit, so that Tang Feng and the others can still eat the baobab fruit at this time.

The skin of the baobab fruit is much thinner than that of a coconut, and it is also made of some coarse fibers, and the flesh inside is white, without much moisture, and it tastes like a marshmallow, with a slight sour taste. But on the whole, it is a very tasty fruit.

Tang Feng quietly collected some baobab seeds, and when he had time, Tang Feng was ready to plant this magical plant in the star core space.

After lunch, Sophia, who was a little excited, didn't take a nap anymore, and had to take Tang Feng out to have a look. For not far in front of the camp there was a small lake, and after a round in the lake, the little river flowed far away from the other side.

Because of the existence of this river and that small lake, it is common to see animals coming here to drink. From antelopes and zebras to giraffes, lions, elephants, and as long as they live nearby, they all come here to drink. Therefore, this place is actually a great place to see those wild animals.

Here, there is very little killing, and even if lions drink with antelopes and zebras not far away, the kings of the African savannah mountains will not attack those antelopes, zebras and other animals. Here, it seems that drinking water is the first big thing, and everything else can be put on the back burner.

The sight of the antelope and the lion living in peace surprised Sophia, and Sophia wanted to take a few more photos of the animals that came to drink at close range, but before she could take a few more steps forward, she was stopped by Tang Feng.

Tang Feng made a silent gesture and pointed to the shore not far away, and Sophia stared at it, almost screaming.

On the shore of that small lake, a big creature that seemed to be like a dead tree trunk was lying quietly there, and it was a Nile crocodile with a body length of four or five meters. (To be continued.) )
