MFUWE LODGE
This region of the park is renowned for its prolific game – giraffe, hippos, buffalo, antelope, and crocodile are constant visitors to Mfuwe Lodge’s lagoon, whilst in November the local elephants regularly wander right through the lobby, lured by a nearby wild mango tree.
Each year at Mfuwe Lodge, they have some very special guests that pay a visit. Families of elephants have been regular guests at the lodge for a number of years, visiting between late Oct & mid-Dec to feast on the fallen fruits from the large Wild Mango tree in the lodge grounds.
At least three generations of one particular elephant family have returned annually and their unusual dining habits and unique behaviour has been the focus of many a TV documentary, photograph, video, newsworthy article, and even children’s books.
