  • Get ready for a wild and wacky sight as our tusky friends, the Mfuwe Elephants, make their grand entrance into our lodge's reception! 🐘🎉
    Every year, like clockwork, these majestic elephants and their adorable families stroll into Mfuwe Lodge between late October and mid-December. Their mission? To savour the mouthwatering fruits from the giant Wild Mango tree on the lodge grounds. 🍃🍈
    But here's the twist: they have a unique shortcut! Instead of going the long way around, they opt for the fancy route, complete with steps and a tiled reception lobby. Why not, right? 😄🚶‍♂️🏨
    For generations, one special elephant family has been making this annual visit, captivating us with their unconventional dining habits and charming antics. 🐘📸 Their story has been featured in TV documentaries, photographs, videos, news articles, and even children's books! 📽️📚
    Join us in celebrating the wonder of nature and these delightful elephants. And while you're here, let's also talk about something sweet-protecting honey bees and beekeeping! 🍯🐝 Because just like these elephants, bees play a vital role in our ecosystem. 🌍💚

    Good Wonky Tusk, she's a great matriarch and mother, always leading the herd to good grazing and fresh water. She's teaching her baby Wellington aka Wellie to be a proper little elephant! I love this herd, and the lodge that is smart enough to let the elephants through. The elephants are very well-mannered and come through the reception area to get to the wild mango trees on the grounds. This herd has probably been going to those trees for centuries and have adapted to having humans in close proximity without conflict. That's why Wonky is such a great leader/matriarch! Elephants really are amazing creatures! I hope Wonky, Wellie, and the entire herd will continue their peaceful visits forever!💕🐘🐘🐘💕

    Well, the lodge did build their buildings around the fruit trees the Ellies have looked forward to every year for countless generations! I read that the Ellies with their timeless memories feel compelled to walk ancestral migration routes leading them to their much-needed food sources at the right time of year.
    And fruits are precious with their nutrients, calories, hydration and easy digestibility. Elephants, obviously, require a lot of food, and most of the time it comes in the form of nutrient-poor, hard-to-digest, grass, leaves, twigs, bark, etc. So the mangoes are manna from heaven for the Ellies, so much so that, when the lodge was built, they took the risk of going through to the courtyard with the trees, gambling these humans were safe. Thank goodness they were! And now a relationship of trust has developed spanning generations. This is wonderful because in so many other cases where humans have built around and blocked an ellie ancestral migration route, it has ended in gunshot, spear and arrow wounds, and accidents with vehicles and wells, or in elephant populations being cut off from the water, food and fellow Ellies they need to survive.
    So I'm so happy this is a heartwarming story where humans and wildlife have found a way not only to cohabit peacefully but also benefit each other. The Ellies get their annual windfall of wild mangoes and a safe place to sleep (the scene of them all napping together was very sweet: in the wild lying down makes them vulnerable to predators so they normally doze standing up.) The humans get some wonderful ecotourism as well as an awesome experience!

    An elephant keeper in Maine died because he got stepped on. He was a vet and had an elephant sanctuary with two elephants. He was found dead. He was stepped on. There were no security cameras so no one will ever know if it was accidental or not. The sanctuary had to close and the elephants relocated since he was really the only one their with the skills to take care of them. The animals had some medical problems from the way they had been treated before they came there. It was called Hope’s Elephants because it was located in Hope, Maine.
