Baobab Amoureux

Western Madagascar


Providing inspiration for many a Malagasy wood sculptor, these two A grandidieri baobabs have twisted themselves into a perfect embrace, earning them the sobriquet of 'Baobabs in Love'. The entwined lovers are around 3km off the Morondava–Kirindy road, just north of the Allée des Baobabs – look for the Kivalo signpost. It's worth visiting before a sunset visit to Allée des Baobabs, or as a detour on your way between Morondava and Réserve Forestière de Kirindy or Belo-sur-Tsiribihina.
