Even though this is one colossal tree, the main attraction is not on the outside. There is a hole inside Sunny – a DRINKING hole. The owners of the Sunland baobab converted the hollow space (which most baobabs develop when they are older than a 1 000 years) into a pub, with a counter and seating space for 14 droinkies. Some traditional folklore suggests that by drinking water that baobab seeds have been soaked in, people would be protected from crocodile attacks. We have to confirm this myth as no krokko even tried so much as nibbling on our toes. Though I'm not sure that the consecrated baobab water in the green bottles we found under the counter hadn't expired???
