Description

Begin your experience in Kibwezi, where you’ll be led to a revered ancient baobab tree, long considered a gathering place for reflection and oral tradition. After a short introduction on cultural etiquette, sit in the tree’s shade as a local healer shares stories and beliefs surrounding baobabs as symbols of endurance, protection, and connection between generations. Learn how different parts of the baobab—such as bark, leaves, and sap—have traditionally been used in non-clinical wellness practices, food preparation, and daily life.
