No. That's an Acacia Tree probably in the Serengeti Park in Tanzania. They grow singularly, not together.

I've swapped between a photo I took and this photo for minutes and I think I've decided there are many acacia trees living in solidarity... but holy shit is it close 😂 great photo!

I mean, likely used to be an entire forest there and this is the lone survivor, so less beautiful in that sense.

While I am hiking, I prefer to call these trees of solitude.

Yeah, I think it was only able to live because it had lived long enough to dip into the aqueduct deep below ground. Sadly that means no other trees can be planted there until the Earth’s natural tilt happens in a couple thousand years

I was going to comment and say that I can “hear” this photo and it sounds like a speeder bike

Same. Rumor has it they were double tree pictures before some crazy alien in a DeLorean took one of them out in the '50s.

It's a really cool shot! Like something from National Geographic. You should enter it in a photo contest.

Nah, this one is in Maasai Mara, Kenya.
"The most isolated tree in the world" was toppled by a drunk driver in 1973, in Nigeria.
According to articles it was about 250miles from that tree to the nearest tree.

Different lone tree. Not sure on exact details but I know it was super old, middle of the dessert. I believe it had been used as a sort of way point for travelers for hundreds of years. By the time it was destroyed it looked little more than a dead stick, standing up in the sand. I'll have to do some googling on it though
