Quiver Tree Forest
The Quiver Tree Forest is a forest and tourist attraction of southern Namibia.
The Quiver Tree Forest is a forest and tourist attraction of southern Namibia. It is located about 14 km north-east of Keetmanshoop on the road to Koës, on the Gariganus farm. It comprises about 250 specimens of Aloidendron dichotomum, a species that is also locally known as the quiver tree because the San people traditionally used its branches to make quivers.
The forest has grown spontaneously; the tallest quiver trees are two to three centuries old. The forest was declared a national monument of Namibia in 1995.
