The Story Of The Tree Of Tenere

The Tree of Tenere was a landmark for a long time. It was the lone tree for more than 400 kilometers and was thus portrayed on maps as a true representation of nature's perseverance! It was an essential navigator because there was a freshwater well directly next to it, which was critical for travelers crossing the desert. This is one of the things about Niger you should know before travelling.


The Tree of Ténéré was said to be the most solitary tree on the earth for 300 years. The acacia was the lone tree for 250 miles in Niger's Sahara desert, and travelers and caravans going through the difficult terrain utilized it as a marker. The tree grew when the desert was marginally more favorable, and it served as the lone reminder of a once-greener Sahara for years.

It collapsed because of a ludicrous human flaw: a drunk motorist smashed the tree with his car in 1973. The branches and stem of the tree can now be seen in the Niger National Museum by anyone. While you're there, pay us a visit!
