Strange Visitor

The site has an annual visit from a family of elephants between October and mid-December but this elephant was late. Speaking about his visitor, Salisbury said that the adult male bull elephant was stranger to them who wanted to explore the region. He also added that the animal was obviously hungry and expected to get some mangoes for himself from the central area. Describing the hilarious event, Bushcamp Company which operates the lodge wrote, "This big guy wasn't about to let a wall stop him from getting where he wanted to go! He made it look easy, climbing over to come into the Mfuwe Lodge courtyard and then again when he left."

Andy Hogg, the managing director of the Bushcamp Company captured the elephant’s hunt for the fruit as he wandered further into the camp. Speaking about the animal, he said it was very impressive that it could coordinate its four legs to get over the wall because the elephant was quite a major bull, maybe around 30.
