  • In Kilifi County, Kenya, photographer, set designer and general creative Mbugua Muigai, aka Kuriba, expresses his love and respect for the mighty baobab tree through a range of artistic work, exploring the cultural, medicinal and environmental significance of these ancient "upsides down" trees. He engages young ravers with them at a music event, shares a spiritual moment with a healer, and takes us on a tour of his favourite baobabs. But this passion comes with a warning, as a growing trade in exporting these massive trees threatens their numbers.
    Saitabao Kaiyare is a filmmaker based in Kilifi, Kenya. He has directed and produced numerous award-winning films and TV shows. He is the co-founder of Baruu Collective, a production company and arts agency aiming to rethink the African narrative.

    It’s a very nice tree, in Zimbabwe it used to used as homes. People carved huts inside the trees. Produces, a savoury fruit it has a chalky texture. They can also live for hundreds of years

    Worship The Word of God through Him the Baobab tree was created. Don’t worship the creation but The Creator

      African are in tune with nature because we are natural people. Our continent has the nature wonders that can never be found nowhere on Earth.

      God isn't a man, if anything she's the Divine Mother because the energy of creation itself is feminine.

      What they are doing is shirk.
      I was happy when the baobab at galana river was swept off. The mijikenda community traditionally used to get involved in witchcraft. Many of them still practice it despite knowing its negative effects to the community. That's why the community has very slow progress coz people continually depend on using witchcraft to bring down anyone they are jealous of. Instead of being innovative on how they can progress in life

      That's the last thing on any Kenyan's mind. We have so much bare land up the North, including Kakuma, where South Sudanese refugees still live to this day. Africa is at a stage where we should be doing away with colonial borders, not reinforcing them.
