Here's some info on the Baobab Tree that makes this even more appropriate:
[From

The Baobab is said to be one of the "World Trees", or Tree of Life by many of the cultures on the African continent. The Baobab tree has an enormous trunk with tapering branches and can attain a maximum height of 75 feet and a maximum diameter of 60 feet around the trunk. It is able to survive long periods of time without water and is also one of the longest-lived trees in the world, being measured at over 2,000 years old. The Baobab is highly regarded by African people because all of its parts can be utilized. The many uses of the tree include grain storage, water reservoirs, shelter, food, burial chambers, timber, soap, fishnets, cords, sacks, clothing, rubber, glue, necklaces, and medicine. In addition to these uses, the tree serves as a meeting place for many villages to discuss community matters, relate the news of the day, or tell stories. In a similar way, the Baobab tree serves as a metaphor for Strategic Adventures. It paints a picture of high performing teams where each person is deeply regarded and the collective efforts of the team help to maximize potential. The Baobab tree also provides an image for how the experiences created by Strategic Adventures allow groups to come together, discuss matters of importance, share stories, and apply learning.
Nice idea. So far this and the Meercat are my favorites!
Great work!
