In Zambia there is an Mfuwe Lodge that was built on an elephant’s migration trail. Even though the lodge is in the way the elephants remembered that a mango grove is on the other side. They have no problem walking through the lodge to get to the fruit.
There is always a barrier in between the tourists and the elephants. The staff makes sure that humans are at a safe distance. Maggie and I think it is wonderful that the elephants seem at peace with the current surroundings and people. The head elephant leader is named Wonky Tusk! This group of elephants comes every November and they stay four to six weeks to gorge on mango's. Andy Hogg the lodge director says “This is the only place in the world where elephants freely get so close to humans.” Attached is a link that will take you directly to the lodges website, if you are intrigued by this story as we were please check it out! http://bushcampcompany.com/mfuwe_lodge.php
