When the White Bwanas designed and constructed the Mfuwe Game Lodge in the South Luangwa National Park in Zambia, they built it (unwittingly, we’re told) on a traditional elephant path to some wild mango trees on the property.

When the fruit is ripe, the herd of a dozen or so elephants walk through the lodge’s reception area at least twice a day for about 4 weeks and then sporadically for about another 3 weeks to feed on the trees. No incidents reported to date! However, no prizes for guessing who gets to check in first.
