> 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
