That tree! The Most photographed tree in the Kgalagadi TFP.

[Callie]

This camelthorn tree was this size in 1999 and still seems the same except for the sociable weavers' nest that always changes.
It is located on the Nossob road. Image 1 is when your travel from Nossob to TweeRivieren and image 2 from 2R towards Nossob.

Beautiful. I have a Kodak Ektachrome slide somewhere of this tree. I shot it in 1982 on a round trip from Jhb to Okavango (Moremi, Savuti, Chobe), out into Caprivi, then south past Kgalagadi (then called Kalahari Gemsbok Park). The memories....
