Location: South Africa
If you want to visit one of the coolest bars in the world, you aren't going to find one quite as amazing and unique as the Baobab Tree Pub.
The Sunland Baobab is a 72-foot tall, 155-foot wide tree in South Africa that also doubles as one of the coolest bars in the world. As if that wasn't amazing enough, it also holds the record as the widest tree in the world, and the largest tree in South Africa. According to carbon dating, the Big Baobab is over 1,700 years old. There's been much discussion about the tree pubs age however, as the Baobab doesn't start to hollow until it reaches 1000 years old. Judging by the 13-foot ceilings and room inside for 40 people, Big Bao has been around much, much longer.
The entire Sunland Baobab consists of a campground complete with five thatched "jungalows". Each teepee shaped hut comes with its own kitchen, rondawel dining room, and a bathroom that lets you "shower under the glorious southern night sky and its millions of African stars!" There's plenty of places to curl up and read a book, or watch the sunset from between its ancient branches. And of course you can always grab a drink inside the amazing tree pub, itself to cap off a perfect day.
Of course, what makes Sunset Baobab amazing is, Big Baobab the tree pub. which has a, "natural vent in the trunk to make a door and installed a railway sleeper pub inside the trunk, complete with draft beer, seats and a music system. One party had 60 people inside the tree bar!. A wine cellar was installed in a second hollow, with a constant temperature of 22° C, ventilated by natural vents. The tree blooms gloriously in spring. It is home to many bird species, including two pairs of owls."
Sunland is also the perfect place to get out and explore the surrounding Modjadjiskloff Cycad Forest, and the local Magoebaskloff hills and forest.
