Very same tree, I think, Elsa, but on a grey, overcast day. I'm also wondering what it is. Isn't it right near a historical marker for someone's trading post? Definitely a very memorable tree!

Looks like a sycamore fig tree , although im not 100 percent sure .
Could also be a big maroela .

Fevertree - Obviously
Sausage tree - deffs
leadwood - deffs
apple leaf - no
natal mahoganny - not sure .

My additions -
Umbrealla thorn - its in every sunset photo for goodness sakes
African teak - huge tree , only in northern natal and eastern lowveld
Mopani - Also mostly a knp lowveld only tree , .It plays such an important role , and is a very prolific tree in the park .
There are huge specimines also , the scrub found around mopani camp is due to localised soil conditions .

What a lot to choose from eisha .

Yes Arks, it definitely looks like one and the same, we always stopped and admired it. Jock actually took the pic.
I think it is at a place marked Sardelli"s Store. Not too sure who he/she was tho.
