Some people would do anything to get a drink and that I mean in a very positive way. They can travel long and hard and find the most unusual location to make sure that their days do not end up dry. In fact there is nothing like the will of a man in love and a man looking for a drink. Well, that may not be the best comparison to make but it’s true. So the people of South Africa have found a unique and very special destination to quench their thirst with a mug of beer. They have found it in a tree trunk!
It is not surprising at all that a nation as blessed in natural resources like South Africa has found a way to open up a bar inside a tree trunk. The only pub in the world that is located inside a tree trunk can be found in Limpopo, South Africa. The pub has been created inside a 72ft high majestic Baobab tree and has a circumference of 155ft. The Baobab tree is said to go hollow in its trunk after a lifetime of 1000 years. Hence the hollow interior of this tree was made by a very natural process.
The pub attracts nearly 7000 visitors each year and it can host 15 people at one time, with comfortable seating for them. It has a low roof but it still looks very comfortable and it looks spacious enough for a few people. But the family claim that they can cram up to 54 people inside the trunk! The Baobab trees have always been known as ‘trees of life’ as they can give food, water and shelter to individuals. Now they have gone a step further with some human innovation; they can give you a mug of beer too.
