Chapman’s Baobab, Fallen baobab tree in Central District, Botswana.

Chapman's Baobab was an African baobab (Adansonia digitata) made up of several partly fused trunks, giving it the nickname "Seven Sisters"; its girth was reported as 25 metres. It stood about 45 km south of Gweta, on the western edge of the Makgadikgadi Pans National Park. It fell on 7 January 2016.

The baobab was named after explorer James Chapman, who documented it in 1861 while crossing the Makgadikgadi salt pans. For over a century, it served as shelter and a guide for many expeditions traveling through this remote region.

The tree was named after the South African traveller and hunter James Chapman, who stayed in the area in 1852 and was the first to document it. Its hollow trunk served periodically as a post office, where passing travellers left letters for others to carry on. It was entered on Botswana's national list of monuments.

The location is flat and open, offering wide visibility but little shelter from weather conditions. Access was possible via local roads, though these could become difficult during rainy periods.

Thomas Baines and James Chapman carved their names into the bark in 1852, and the hollow trunk later held letters left by passing travellers. The tree was also a landmark on routes across the salt pans, with Green's Baobab standing 15 km to the north.
