BAOBAB, the tree of LIFE | Great Migration | Savana Safari
BAOBAB – the Baap of all trees!
As an adventure tourism expert, sometimes I wonder as to the exact nature of the allure of the raw jungle. Are we fascinated purely by the prowl of the majestic beasts in their natural habitat? Or is their natural habitat itself is a big part of this appeal? My thoughts keep going back to my encounter with the almighty Baobab tree.
Baobab tree is atypical of Africa; we Indians have never encountered anything like that anywhere in India. Imagine a tree that’s 90 feet tall and 30 feet wide at the trunk; it simply looks like an alien structure put on earth. Over centuries man has used Baobab’s wide trunk for different purposes, like home, shop, bus stop, restaurant etc. A Baobab once served as a transit prison in Australia and also currently houses the famous Big Baobab Pub at Limpopo, South Africa.
Baobab also occupies a place of pride in several African fables, due to its unique structure. It is said that a white python inhabited the first Baobab tree and whenever man prayed to it for rain the prayer was answered. But when the invaders came to Africa, they shot this python and disaster struck with drought and famine. In still nights, even now, one can hear the hissing of the python near the Baobab. Along the banks of Zambesi river, it is believed that a child bathed in water soaked in Baobab grows very tall and strong, and women consuming soup of Baobab leaf can have lots of children.
Another fable says that once upon time several young girls used to live around a huge Baobab tree which slowly fell in love with them. When the girls grew up and started taking fancy to young men, the Baobab could not endure it and became very jealous, and on a stormy night a lightning struck the Baobab and it gulped all the maidens inside its trunk and they were never to be seen again. In moonlit nights, one still hears the weeping of young girls from the insides of the Baobab.
Why Baobab is so important in the African ecosystem is because of its ability to hold up to 120,000 litres of water in its soft and mushy inside. The elephants typically use Baobab during peak of summer as a source of water. Using its sharp tusk, it removes the hard outer covering of the trunk, extracts the soft, mushy parts of the interior and chews out its water. The crevices of the wide trunk of the Baobab are inhabited by insects, birds and animals of varied nature, and sometimes even man. Ironically, these days the poachers use the trunk of the Baobab to hide and then shoot the unsuspecting elephants when they approach the tree for a drink.
As I stood in the front of the huge Baobab in Tarangire National Park, Tanzania with its branches reaching up to the sky, I was wondering about all the fables associated with this magnificent tree. With all its magnanimity, the tree housed countless birds who chirped incessantly and hopped from one branch to another, squirrels ran along its body, an unnamed animal - possibly mongoose, peeped from one of the trunk’s crevices and vanished inside. About 300 feet away a pack of elephants with 2 young calves leisurely chewed their day’s last meal. I stepped inside the small alcove dug inside the trunk. A butt of cigarette told me that a man was here. Was he an animal lover like me? Or was he a greedy poacher?
Today we no longer respect the Baobab, the way our elders used to, neither do we believe - like the Masais, that God created man and animals for co-existence along with the jungle and the savannah. It’s high time for the Baobab fable to come true again. Like the Masais, I’m awaiting the time when the Great Baobab wakes up again and avenges this treachery, by engulfing the unsuspecting. And I will joyously sing with the Masais, when the poacher himself would be poached!

Tanzania 2017 - 4K
This short film features some of the best moments, scenery and wildlife uncovered during a two-week, self-drive tour of North-Eastern Tanzania in June 2017.
Touring the area in an anti-clockwise road trip covering 2,500km, we experienced the coast, mountains, rainforest, savannah and saw numerous mammals, reptiles, birds, fish and insects.
Starting in Dar Es Salaam, we drove North along the Indian Ocean, before turning inland and heading North-West towards Arusha. Along the way we stopped off at the Amani Forest Reserve in the East Usambara Mountains, Irente Farm near Lushoto in the West Usambara Mountains, the Kiliman Coffee Plantation in the foothills of Kilimanjaro itself, the Maserani Snake Park outside Arusha before emerging at the Tarangire National Park for the most incredible 24-hours of observing some of Africa's largest and most iconic mammals in their natural habitat.
After this we stayed at the Panorama Safari Campsite on the Rift Valley Escarpment overlooking Lake Manyara National Park, before embarking on a long road trip South to the capital Dodoma, and then East via Morogoro back to Dar Es Salaam.
I'd like to thank all of the extraordinarily friendly campsite hosts, villagers and locals we met during the trip for their hospitality, as well as James Borrell and Jessica Plumb who invited me along on this leg of their sixth-month overlanding tour of Southern Africa.
All footage used in this film was shot on a GoPro Hero 5 Black camera utilising the GoPro Karma Drone and Grip (my first trip with this set-up and I'm delighted with the results!) and edited using Final Cut Pro X.
The soundtrack is 'Re-arrange' by Biffy Clyro, from their 2016 album 'Ellipsis', used according to the following Youtube Music Policy:
I hope you enjoy the film!

The full length version of this program is available on DVD and Digital download at Bennett-watt.com

Arusha National Park is considered to be a gem in Tanzania's 'Northern Safari Circuit', just 40 minutes drive from the safari gateway town of Arusha, Tanzania’s second largest city and the local street markets there. The major peaks of Mt Kilimanjaro and Mt Meru surround the park and Giraffes greet you as soon as you pass the park gates. From the green swamps and thick forest to Ngurdoto Crater to the shallow alkaline lakes, Arusha National Park has a diverse and changing landscape. The only location on the “northern safari circuit”, where live the unique and beautiful black-and-white Colobus Monkey. Here too Elephants, Baboons, Cape Buffalo and a variety of other wild animals. Lake Manyara National Park is at the base of the Great Rift Valley escarpment in an environment of forest, grassland and swamps. It is considered one of the country’s smallest national parks but with a unique ecosystem and a large variety of animals. Wildlife include the famous tree climbing Lions, one of the largest concentrations of Baboons in the world, Buffalo, Zebra, Hippopotamus, Giraffe, Wildebeest, Warthogs, Banded Mongoose, Monkeys, Elephants and over 350 species of birds. Though Lions are found in trees throughout Tanzania, Lake Manyara National Park has developed a reputation for tree climbing Lions. Hippo pools offer a terrific view of animals whose hide alone can weigh half a ton and is the third-largest living land mammal, after elephants and white rhinos. Lake Manyara National Park is just off the main tourist highway from Arusha to Ngorongoro Crater and Serengeti National Park near the village of Mto Wa Mbu, where the future of Tanzania is exemplified at the community primary school with children from a number of tribes and dialects. The East African country of Tanzania is located just south of the Equator. Over 587,000 square miles in area, home of the continents’ tallest mountain, Kilimanjaro and more national parks and game preserves than any other wildlife destination in the world. Enlightened game management, strict regulation on hunting coupled with an excellent infrastructure for tourism and guided by professional guide, Stanford Milinga, makes Tanzania a world-class destination for game viewing photo safaris.

CFC Keynote - Shani - Maasai Culture, Conservation Tourism and Climate Change | @marioninstitute
Connecting for Change: Bioneers by the Bay conference hosted by the Marion Institute is A SOLUTIONS BASED gathering that brings together a diverse audience to create deep and positive change in their communities. The conference connects the dots between food and farming, health and healing, indigenous knowledge, women and youth leadership, green business and restorative living.
SHANI - The Maasai people are known as one of the few indigenous communities that have succeeded in maintaining their culture and sustainable living practices on the land for centuries. For the last 4,000yrs, since the Maasai descended from the Kerio- Valley, the Maa culture has been very resilient but now faces a myriad of challenges ranging from formal education, religion, globalization and Climate Change.
However, over time the Maasai have constantly designed ways to cope with the ever increasing challenges of the 21st Century. The Shompole Group Ranch, in Kenya, is one such example where a direct interaction between Culture, Conservation Tourism and Climate Change effects are dealt with in a holistic and integrated manner. Shani shares his insight into the Shompole example that has pioneered processes that have become a blue print nationally and beyond where all the above components are integrated to give indigenous people an opportunity to chart their own destiny in various spheres.
Ole Petenya Yusuf Shani is a Director of Maa O'leng, the business entity that runs the 5 star Shompole Eco - Lodge and a founder Trustee of Shompole Community Trust -- UNDP Prize 2006 Winner in Kenya thanks to Shani's leadership efforts. Shani has over 13 years experience and his focus has been on Community Based Wildlife Conservation, Climate Change and Eco-tourism in the region. He represents the local community at various boards occupying executive positions including the Southern Rift Association of Land Owners (SORALO) that covers 15 community groups that spans 1 million Hectares biodiversity hot spots between Amboseli and Maasai Mara, the Kajiado Wildlife Forum, the Kenya Wildlife Working Group (KWWG) Trustee and Treasurer of the Community Knowledge Sharing Network sponsored by UNDP Equator Initiative, Trustee of the National Environment Trust Fund and a Board member of Forest Trends based in Washington D.C.USA to name a few.
