In Senegal, baobabs have long served as tombs for griots, or storytellers. They're seen as sacred, as they house the spirits of the ancestors buried in their hollowed-out trunks. But due to the health risks of decomposing bodies, it's rare to find a community that still practices the tradition. The Serere are one of the last.
