What Is Kameeldoring, and Where Does It Come From?

The origin and characteristics of the Kameeldoring Tree (Camelthorn Tree)

Known as Vachellia erioloba, Acacia erioloba, Camel Thorn, Kameldoring (in Afrikaans), and Giraffe tree. The Kameeldoring tree is native to the semi-desert regions of Southern Africa and reaches a towering height of approximately 30 metres. They are resilient and lifespan of up to 200 years.
Kameeldoring trees are large and umbrella-shaped, and they are considered a keystone species in the African Savannah. This is due to the fact that so many other species and echosystems depend on it. They can tolerate long periods without water in the unforgiving african sun and are referred to as the tree of life
Kameeldoring trees are harvested for their timber, which serves various purposes, including firewood, construction, and furniture production. Additionally, kameeldoring wood is utilised in the production of charcoal. Our Kameeldoring braai wood is sourced from the branches that naturally fall due to their substantial weight.
Our Kameeldoring braai wood is taken from the branches that fall from the trees due to their heavy weight (extremely dense).
