Pure exhilaration checking in to Mfuwe Lodge on an African Safari Vacation

by Sandy Salle on September 11, 2009

Mfuwe Lodge in South Luangwa National Park, Zambia has some unusual visitors…. elephants in the house.

Last year the herd of elephants that frequented Mfuwe Lodge to feed on the wild mangosteen entered the lodge on the 9th of September to check the state of the fruit.

Once again and almost to the day they checked in September the 10th…

The fruit aren’t ripe yet so they anticipate a daily guest until they are when the entire family will follow!

Checking in to hotels can be a real drag when the lobby is crowded and full of people.  Checking into Mfuwe Safari Lodge can be pure exhilaration.

Don’t you think it would be fun to have breakfast with an elephant having his in the same lodge whilst on an African safari vacation?  I would love for you to leave us a comment and give us your thoughts…..

If you didn’t live here you probably wouldn’t believe it! Who was brave enough to stick around to take the photo?

Certainly not me, Richard! Thank you! What a wonderful African safari vacation those folks were having. Andy Hogg of Bushcamp Co took most of the photos and one was by Johan Elzega. Lucky folks!
