>         Inviting big, exotic animals inside probably wasn't the plan
>         when the Mfuwe Lodge was built in Zambia in 1998, but that’s
>         what wound up happening. The lodge surrounds a mango tree that
>         a local group of elephants likes to feed on and sits on the
>         path they traditionally used to get to it.

>         When Mfuwe opened for business, the elephants made it clear
>         they had no intention of changing their route. They walked in
>         like they owned the place, shuffled through the lobby and out
>         into the courtyard to feast on mangoes.
>
>         The spectacle, no doubt concerning to whoever was working the
>         reception desk the first time it happened, has become one of
>         the lodge’s main draws, and attracts crowds of tourists every
>         year. According to the lodge, the group that makes the annual
>         stroll through the lobby includes three generations of one
>         elephant family, including their matriarch “Wonky Tusk” and
>         the young “Lord Wellington,” who was born on the lodge grounds
>         in 2009.
>
>         Wildlife cameraman Nathan Pilcher recently (2014) went to
>         Mfuwe to see the elephants for himself, and you can watch his
>         short movie by clicking the following link! --- December 14, 2015
