Each year at Mfuwe Lodge in Zambia some very special guests pay a visit. Whole families of elephants have been regular guests at the lodge for a number of years, visiting between late October and mid-December to feast on the fallen fruits from the large wild mango (Cordyla africana) tree in the lodge grounds.
The fact that a large safari lodge is built around this delicious food store is of no concern to them. Why walk the extra few metres to go around, when there are some nice steps and a tiled reception lobby to saunter through each day? At least three generations of one particular elephant family return annually.

I want to go there! Do I assume correctly that the mangoes are fermented? It seems so, with the shots of the elephants all sacked out.
