I've neither seen such large trees in person but overall it is of course still very, very young and small. If I ever make it to Africa again, I've got to check them out.

The owners of Sunland Farm in Limpopo, South Africa have built a pub called "The Big Baobab Pub" inside the hollow trunk of the 22 metres (72 ft) high tree. The tree is 47 m (155 ft) in circumference, and is said to have been carbon dated at over 6,000 years old.
