Unbelievable African Elephants in My Pool!

- I couldn't believe it when I woke up at 6:30 am to the sound of splashing outside my window in South Africa at Arathusa Lodge...nothing could have prepared me for what I was going to see - a family of African elephants drinking from my plunge pool! And don't worry there were no chemicals in the water.

I'd fill that plunge pool up every day !!! What magnificent beautiful creatures!!!
That sounds like a great idea. My fear would be, though, that the elephants might decide that the property was their territory and become hostile to the humans that stay there. Still, the main reason I'd ever want to fill it would be to attract wildlife, especially elephants.
and I would want to fight anyone who suggested that it shouldn't be replenished with regularity. hmpf!
@rdokoye Not more dangerous than the humans though who have encroached their territories.Elephants eat grass not humans and drink water not blood !! Unless you disturb them are harmless.
@Vintage Rocker Just see how they have thanked for water at 2.41. Elephants are the most intelligent of species, they never forget !
Ikr? This kind of scene is worth waking up for.
What a dream, waking up to elephants! 🐘🐘🐘
It was the most beautiful site I have ever woken up to
@@InfiniteKayak Do you have chloro in your pool?`
Such a beautiful site 💕🙏🏾
live foreverclara First of All why in all caps? Second of hall why do you so many spaces. Third of all learn how to spell before you talk shit.
Amazing 😄
“Goodbye guys, thanks for coming by.”
This is so kind of you to say. 💙
Yeah.. they drunk from a pool treated with chlorine or bromine.... facepalm
Next day: *Unbelievable, lions in my bedroom*
I believe the last one felt his energy and that's why it scaled the window to let him get a better look. ❤
@@jmoa5758 Read the description: He said they were NO chemicals in the water. READ Before you say something stupid.
I look at this I think, WOW what a Marvelous Creator we have to have made these beautiful creatures! Thank you God!
NEVER get tired of watching these elephants. Absolutely wonderful.
Same. Something just very mesmerizing about watching elephants, especially as they all knew the guy was behind the glass watching them.
Ian Douglas Hamilton wrote the best book about living among elephants.
@@baskervillebee5353 o073bee
Yes most definitely they are wonderful to watch
😊
Love how he thanks the elephants 🐘 for coming by, and wishing them a good day. ❤️
He isn't going to fill the pool again. He deserves no thanks
Sun🌞Gaze👁️Mia🗺️ wow you’re a miserable prick eh?
@@MiaEZ k
@@738polarbear no Dumbass he states himself he will not fill the pool again in the video! Fucking Moron!
@@MiaEZ He never said that, he said that there are people who don't fill it up anymore!
That one elephant waved like Thanks buddy! See you on the flip side!
Samantha Sowell 2:42
I am glad you noticed that. I believe he was saying hello. They are so smart!
I think it was saying thanks too, I watched another video where the villagers rescued a baby elephant from a hole and when it went back to it mother, the mother turned around and did the same thing twice before going off.
@@InfiniteKayak To me it seemed he also said " Some snacks would be nice next time "
Hahaha I saw your comment first, so it made that part of the video all the more funny when I got to it!
"They don't fill the plunge pool because the elephants come and drink."
That seems like a pretty good reason to fill it, if you ask me. :)
I'm sure they dont like cleaning all that poo up lol.
Pools normally have to be chlorinated for humans so that's bad to drink regularly and that's probably why they don't fill the pools anymore.
And all that poop
Ashad T. I agree, it’s for the elephant’s safety and health
Until you see the water bill i guess. How many of gallons one elephant alone can drink, now we talk about the whole clan.
Wild animals also deserve fresh water.
In our hindu tradition, during summer we keep a pot of water outside our home for birds. Almost all the water sources got dried up during summer and we keep the water out side home for thirsty birds.
When I had my own house I had a bird bath, they could drink or bathe in it. It was great fun to see all the different types of birds that would use it.
I too keep a bowl of water outside my house for stray cats and dogs
We do the same in Australia for thirsty birds and Koalas.
@John Nichols Humanitarians everywhere.
In Austria we do the same with food in the winter.
What a Privilege to host African elephants... wow pls keep your pool filled always 🙏🙏
The Big ones were so polite to the babies. That was so sweet. I'd definately fill that pool up Just for them if I had a place like that. Fantastic video! Thank you for sharing it. So different than here. I'm totally impressed!
What a privileged sight to see, thank you for letting them drink water from your pool, it’s so amazing how they move as a family, just love these gentle giants ♥️🐘♥️🐘♥️🐘♥️🐘♥️🐘♥️🐘
It was such a privilege. I was honored they came to visit
Just stop calling them gentle giants. They're very territorial and they'd have no problem killing you for sport if you come too close
Gilets Jaunes - To me they are gentle giants - period !!! But they can show their passionate side as well. It’s all said in an affectionate way - lighten up - jeez!
@@marlenaforbes-reidy9876 I'm having a bad day sorry
Gilets Jaunes - Take care Gilets, Hope you have a good day from here on - Cheers 😘
Love your appreciation torwards them 🐘. It was so beautiful to see. Thx for sharing !
That's so cool.
"They don't fill the pool anymore because the Elephants come"
I WOULD FILL IT ALL THE TIME HAHA
Britbong that’s sad I will fill the pool for them
I think they meant fill it with chlorine for human usage.
@@islalove336 Yeah most likely, but living there is different to being a tourist. Elephants are cool, even for the locals, but as a local you also experience the problems they bring, property damage and whatever else.
But as a tourist I love them haha
Not a lot of water in some parts of Africa, so they probably can't afford to fill it up and not use it as a pool.
Lovely beautiful animals
We don't deserve such sweet beautiful creatures. What a lovely family. I hope they live and stay together forever.
Imagine falling asleep in the pool and waking up to this crowd around you
Lord I would pass out, before I knew what was going on. The elephant's would have to spray me with the water to revive me.
If you woke up.
They’d be the least of your worries coz you’d drown before they get there.
😂😂
LOL
Elephants: "This is some high quality H2O"
*this is some gourmet shit*
"High quality Chlorine/Bromine treated pool water"
@@jmoa5758 do you mean CRONCHY WATER TASTE GOOD
I'm assuming there are chemicals in that swimming pool that the elephants are drinking
Elephants seem to love chlorine and water
What a wonderful experience. Thank you for sharing. I love elephants.
Thank you. It was wonderful. Check out the other wonderful elephant and other videos I have and please share!
All I have are some squirrels in my back yard. Maybe I should put out an elephant feeder.
or, mutate your squirrels into elephants...
You could try that, but I suspect finding a tree branch to hang it on might be a little difficult ;)
Although I haven't read many comments, I'm going to guess you get the Best Comment on this video anyways!! Love it!!!
I get a squirrel in my backyard, it's an albino squirrel and that's pretty cool.
greets with fire - I put out water for the birds and squirrels. They get thirsty, too.
This is so Beautiful to watch, and their babies too 😙😙
Yes I'm about to cry looking at their elephants
I would honestly cry if that was me! What an amazing moment you were so lucky to have.
This is simply amazing. Most of us will never experience this, thanks for sharing.
I'd be ok with paying that water bill for that reward
Me too!
Worth every hard earned Penny. I would love to pay that bill
Sandlin22 You said a mouthful. Such a surreal experience I would love this 🐘🐘🐘🐘
Sandlin22
Any day
Yes
Wow
Same!
Hey, that guy at 2:41 saw you through the window and thanked you lifting up his trunk. That's how they greet :).
that ele showed him the middle trunk
"that guy" XD
And if you notice the last adult at 4:38 actually looked right at the guy through the window. Amazing!!!
@@kimberle4753 that adult was saying "bro, don't piss in our water hole"
@@kimberle4753 I think that was the bull, saying thankyou but give him a warning not to get that close next time.
Isn't that just totally awesome. Waking up in the morning to be greeted by elephants having a drink at your home. Look how they behave, so gentle/respectful. So sad they dont fill the pool anymore. If i lived in an elephant habitat, i would build a large dam for them to drink/swim in. Thankyou for sharing, so amazing. ❤ from 🇦🇺..
I adore that one of them turned as they walked away, trunk up, as if to say, "Thank you!"💕
Same.
What a beautiful event to share with the world. You are completely privileged to have hosted these gentle equals to us humans, and I deeply believe that the elephants knew that they were in a welcoming premises and had also received your welcoming goodwill communications to them
Thank you. It was such an honor and privilege. It is why I love helping organize safaris to Africa so people can experience how beautiful nature is
... the elephants just all drank from a pool treated by chlorine or bromine
Such a beautiful event... right
Justin Moua There are no chemicals in that water. They are just enjoying a lovely drink
Oh my gosh I love your attitude towards them! How blessed you are to have access to such an experience! It was so sweet and cute how you told them "thanks for stopping by" and "have a nice day," I'm so tickled by this video ^.^
Thank you for sharing your pool and not run them off! Keep it filled and clean with no chemicals to harm them. We need more people like you who care! 🐘❤
ANGEL SHUTT it’s not his pool he’s on holiday
I honestly doubt he’d be able to run them off anyway. With elephants being massive and all.
@@BonazaiGirl yes. I am not quite sure how you would go about chasing them off 😁😁
@@moominmay thats a shame hope whoever else rents it fills the pool
2:40 That elephant sais "good bye".
Polite animal
Max-that is what I thought as well. I watched another vid where a group of people got a baby elephant out of a mud pit and when it ran to its mother, she raised her trunk to the group of people who rescued her baby.
oh wooow i didnt even notice that that was cool
The elephant is raising it's trunk to sniff the air. It probably smelled humans since they were at the camp.
That elephant say THANKS you sir..
Magnificent! Thank you!! How any person could harm these beautiful creatures is unfathomable.
I would love to catch and kill those bastards who do that. Piece of shit should get erased from this world.
Jesus christ who let you out the dog house?
There are laws .. they didnt take water with them.. they drank what they need and left. No greed.
well, some people hunt them for their ivory tusk
They look so happy to have fresh water to drink instead of the muddy kind! Love all the little ones too!
Who else just Got this in there recommendet?
I just got it today, but I was watching feminist meltdowns, this was way better
I was watching BLM destroying neighborhoods and then it skipped to this when the video ended. This was better.
I got this too
@@emilieguillon-equitation421 I got this today, I love elephants,such beautiful animals!🐘
It's "their", stupid. Unfuck yourself.
If the pool was bigger, pretty sure they'll Hangout longer and, they will surely play and bathe hahahaha
I hope you have continued giving water to those beautiful creatures. God bless you!!!
One guy gave you a high five with his trunk......and the last big guy looked like he was saying thank you!!
You dont turn your back on a predator in nature when you are by yourself
Aww! I would keep that little pool filled with fresh water just for them!
Wow, the water level was right at the tile line when they started ...a good 6 inches below by the time they finished.
Yes, they were thirsty!
Yeah that is a lot of chlorine or bromine treated water they just drank from.
RIP elephant family.
Justin Moua the guy of this channel stated there’s no chlorine in the pool, please ask the creator before you make a bunch of negative comments.
@@user-gj3fp4pg2m that's even worse.
@@jmoa5758 They are wild animals... their bodies are not like a humans.
Wild animals have the ability to drink water like that and be fine with the immune systems they have.
We boil or treat our water because we have evolved to be able to do so.
They are fine even drinking muddy water though they would not prefer it.
i hope the water has no chlorine, it might dangerous for them. They're really thirsty 😭 Thank you sir for not disturbing them 😊
This is rainwater, he said that they don't fill the pool anymore because the elephants drank everything
Chlorine water is safe for consumption anyways
No chlorine used
Even if the water was not ok, what would you do to stop these elephants from drinking?
I think elephants are intelligent enough not to drink the water if it smells/tastes odd. Chlorine intensively smells/tastes of a mixture of chemicals.
I live in Belgium and I don't have elephants in my garden, but that's maybe because I don't have a pool 🤣
Wish i lived in Belgium... My great grandparents came to the USA from Belgium. Beautiful place.
What is Public reply?
With sincere prayer all can live happily.
Do you live near the sea? If you do you should place a jar of water, vinegar and sliced gherkins and onions outside. The herrings might jump in and you would have rollmops.
bert de jong Good one.
Notice how well behaved & orderly they are. With great stature comes great dignity.
Great video!! Must have been a real blast for you to see them all so relaxed. Thanks for posting incredible experience!
Thank you. I hope you will enjoy the others as well!
This video brought me tears of joy. Especially at 2:40
the wildest animal's i have seen in my garden is a fox, i can't imagine how wonderful this would be, lucky you :))
Your life is boring.
@Zachary Thomas wow ! :)
@@uk.amanda4483 I would look on it another way. This fox on your garden is as beautiful as these elephants in his own way. I wont rank animals not even insects or spiders. We should appreciate (and secure) the nature in our gardens in the cities more imo.
@@sleepingcity85 You had me till spiders.
@@dumpthechump1769 they eat all the mosquitos, so i quite like them ;)
In the Human World, this is called private property and private pool, but in nature, it is still water and there are no such things as law.
Animals still have their territories
In nature it's always giving what the animals need with no possession of what nature made.
The onlu law: survival of the fittess
@@cerono9169
That is not true; you've been deceived. Wicked people would like that to be the only law, but it isn't. That's not any kind of law; it's not even a true principle.
I didn't hear this guy complaining about the Elephant's.
*They was there less then 5 mins so why not allow them to drink? It's not like they messing up the property. Smh ppl can be so inconsiderate. They probably travel far to find water to drink so why not help them out. I would love to see that everyday. It's beautiful*
I agree
L Justice Absolutely! Those beautiful elephants are dependent on water to survive ❤️❤️❤️
Giant elephant turds!!
LMAO. It's probably good fertilizer for your garden, I dunno.
@@Nick-jb4xi
The quickest way to regrow the original vegetation in lush proportions, is to allow elephants (and other large migratory herbivores) to feed and migrate at will. Elephants are a keystone species because they deposit processed seed, enzymes and nutrients everywhere they go, far and wide. As a result, they nourish the soil, leaving germinated seed behind, enriching the land. The fastest and most effective way to regrow damaged rain forests such as in Asia, is to reintroduce elephants to those areas. They eat lightly as they migrate, depositing and thus feeding the land with what they leave behind. Every creature has a purpose on this Earth, and elephants maintain, nourish and groom such forests. When man decided to reassign elephants to other "jobs", he was unwittingly doing great damage to the land and the forests. Every species has a design-purpose when functioning according to their original design. When mankind left his own, he became corrupted, unwise, hurtful and destructive. Nothing has been the same since.
"They don't fill the pool anymore because the elephants come and drink“ whoever told you that needs to think for a minute of how privileged he/she is for having clean water available 24/7...
Yeah, I was watching this hoping it wasn’t too chlorinated. Not sure typical pool water would be good for an elephant.
Think for a minute.
Is it safe for the animal to drink pool water? Probably not.
Is it safe for the people to have elephants there often? Probably not.
Why would they be privileged for saying that they don't fill the pool with water and chemicals that are unsafe for the elephant?
This is the shit people are getting pissed about these days, I mean you don't even know what the fuck you are saying.
What would the word privilege have to do with someone looking out for animals and people? For fucks sake.
Black Cadillac Vince meant that anyone who has clean water available to them 24/7 should reflect on how fortunate (privileged) they are. There are hundreds of thousands of people who don't have that privilege AND there are millions of animals who have never had that privilege.
@@SAS-wm2gm thank you hero
Yeah sure that's totally what his conceited ass meant.
They are so beautiful and precious!!! You’re so lucky to have experienced this wonderful encounter!!! 😘😍😍❤️❤️❤️ I love them !!!! ❤️🐘❤️🐘❤️🐘❤️
Glad you loved it. You should come to South African and enjoy the Ellies yourself!
Oh definitely! This would be my dream to see the elephants and other beautiful wildlife of Africa!
I also love elephants. They are so intelligent and kind to each other.
Me too. It was such an honor. Please check out the other videos we have and thanks for sharing!
Ahhhh... To wake up to a heard of elephants in my yard! 😍😍😍😍
Wow so cool elephant
Fabulous video. Thanks for uploading! I hope these beautiful creatures have a happy future.
Man, if I lived there I'd build an enormous concrete pool that you could walk down into. Then I'd build a very tall, strong fence and I'd sit and watch all the wildlife that comes and goes. I'd starve to death never wanting to leave.
I wonder were you would get the water from ? I thought it was really dry in Africa
@@emilieguillon-equitation421 it's no dessert, of course there are water resources, but not everywhere
I can’t imagine having that experience, firsthand. Surreal I imagine. Loved your video and thank you!
I want to wake up and watch this amazing sight everyday! 😍😍😍
Your kind hospitality gave these wonderful animals a drink on a hot day. I love it!
What a beautiful experience you had. Thanks for sharing !! They are such gorgeous animals. It is neat to watch their trunks.
Amazing sight to see. Arathusa Lodge need to keep that pool filled permanently. That room is a front seat to watching these beautiful gorgeous elephants peacefully having a refreshing drink of water. Beautiful. They mean no harm. All they want is to drink some water and be on their merry way.
Thank you for sharing. Please pass on the word back to Arathusa Lodge that this IS the kind of thing we want to see. Might book me that room too!
@monokhem As Arathusa Lodge is purposefully built for the tourist trade, it would be ecologically sustainable if they invest some of the money earned to provide a solution and to store and preserve water so that the elephants could safely drink in the dry season rather than using the said same water to fill a plunge pool for humans. Also, which is more important economically to the benefit of the country: a) using the water to fill a plunge pool - for humans or; b) having a source of water for elephants to drink, tourists (who bring revenue into the country) can go and safely observe the elephants close up.
New watering hole in the savanna. Keep it !
We need to save these beautiful creatures 🥺
I'm just so thankful that you have shared such an incredible and (for me and probably many others who appreciate experiencing the close knit elephant family dynamics) emotional event. This video has sincerely helped start my Saturday morning on a very high note!
Karen Brown Thank you. I am glad I could make your day
Wow! What a magnificent sight with such adorable creatures making themselves at home! I'd feel proud too!
I'd love to get to see them face to face, but this is good enough!
As we say at Infinite Safari Adventures "Someday" Is Now! Would love to have you come see the amazing wildlife in Africa. Check out the other wildlife videos we have as well.
and get crushed
LovelyLilDevilWings yea
Aww they were so thirsty!! They'll be back lol
Alan, That is why you're the master safari dude in my world! I would never go there without you....
I love how they let the little ones drink first. Awwwww. So precious!
Always loved elephants. Sad how they are so mistreated. So happy you had the pool filled up. Can one imagine how much they have to walk to find water??!! One of them even waved good bye!!💓
How I wish that was my pool the elephants were drinking from. So exciting.

What a WONDERFUL video! Thanks so much for capturing it and sharing and being so appreciative. Elephants are one of my all-time favorite animals!!
What an amazing experience 🤗 they are truly gentle giants!! I could watch them drink all day 🤗
Much better than watching the telly for sure
thats strange ..we dig ponds and water holes for all the animals every half mile or so here in the congo and sahara..and keep them full all year long
If I experienced this for real I would seriously die of happiness!
Can actually see how much the water level dropped was a few inches. Great video!
I want to live in that house, too ❤️ If I were the landlord, I would fill the pool with fresh water every morning ❤️ ❤️
It is a beautiful thing to see all of our elephant friends stopping by to get water. They came there because they needed water just like all living things needs water to survive. Thank you for sharing the water with another of GOD”s precious creatures.
How very special to have wild elephants visit your yard. They provide free fertilizer, free tree trimming, free weed control and joy unspeakable full of glory. You are one lucky duck. 😂😂😂😂❤❤❤❤❤❤
2:40 That little guy said "thanks for the drink". Absolutely amazing!
You say "they don't fill it anymore because the elephants drink it" - I would say - SO LET THEM DRINK!!
Thank you for letting them drink water may GOD bless you
I would be in heaven!!! BEAUTIFUL! Thanks for sharing!!!
This is so beautiful, you are so lucky! Provide them with clean water everyday, please 😊
What an incredible experience! So glad you woke up and captured that on camera! I really hope that there will be future elephant families still drinking from that pool for years to come. Much love and thank you!

Wonderful expérience 😄😄
What a sight. Simply beautiful!*
