Boab Prison Tree Kasane

The Boab Prison Tree Kasane is a remarkable baobab tree located in Kasane, a town in northern Botswana. This tree is unique because it has a hollow trunk used as a prison for criminals and enslaved people in the 19th and early 20th centuries. The tree also served as a post office and a recruitment centre for labourers. Visitors can see the tree at the Kasane Police Station and admire its size, shape and history. They can also explore the nearby Chobe National Park, home to various wildlife and natural scenery.
