- Every year when the mangoes are ripe a family of wild elephants visit Mfuwe Lodge. Led by their matriarch Wonky Tusk they carefully make their way through the Lodge's reception area and onto the the grounds where the mango tree stands.
To see it with your own eyes is truly unbelievable, I'll never forget my stay at Mfuwe lodge, I can't wait to go back!!!
Hi Jack, please check out our Zambia travel channel. thank u so much
Visitor: We need to acknowledge the elephant in the room.
Receptionist: Which one?
These elephants, so gracious and so nonchalantly at home on the palatial grounds of the Mfuwe Lodge, stirred up memories of the Babar books I loved so much as a kid.
Elephants are some of the most beautiful animals on the planet they are so majestic and kind and love creatures I will do anything in my power to save them from extinction
They are so precious...makes me smile deep inside. So glad that no one harms these elegant beings. At least in that area.
1000 times better than zoo or even circus, so lovely
Vecanoi Veca si .si much much better than the zoo
this is exaple,standard of co-existentce.great experience,contact with social,smart,inteligent animals.
Agree
Denmark is building a zoo without cages.
Elephants are so majestic and love their families....
I just adore Wellie and love this 🐘 family! 🤗
I am so proud yo live on Africa an be part of this
Hi there we are the elephant family checking in. Yes that's a party of 10
This is what happens when you get a wonderful country like Zambia who look after their wildlife.
Just stunning!!! Elephants are so intelligent, family orientated and majestic!! Sharing this for sure!
very cute and nice video. favorite part : the clumsy baby elephant hahaha
I love seeing man and elephants together this way... beautiful.... thank you.
would love to time going there with the elephants arrival...how cool is that. Love hearing about friendly encounters with majestic beings and respecting each other. We can all get a long together if we all try.
What a wonderful experience for the employees and the guests to see this ... I wish I had been there. Gorgeous site!!!!
finally some happy elephants ☺
2:00 it must be so weird to be a baby elephant, she cant really see where her legs are, and just kinda stumbles around. Really adorable though
Massimo C it someone really didnt wona fuck it up, they could just say " it " >.
+Massimo C the proverbial fifth leg. Or is it the sixth leg with elephants?
got the rest of the herd to watchout for the babies..and they do..unlikesome humans..
how it should be.....man and animal lving together in harmony
JESSIE--- very well said... luv you for it..
What magnificent creatures! Shame on those who kill this beautiful giants
Just fantastic!! Would love to visit this lodge!
this is how construction should be build around nature not through it.
AKARYUSAN--- I agree with you 100%-- we need to educate many people in this world about ''animal''stewardship'' --will share your post...
This was actually built through it, the Elephants simply refused to change course so the hotel owners had to improvise
0:45 - 0:55 is the money shot! Beautiful! 🐘
What a wonderful experience! The amount of emotions must be overwhelming. These people are so fortunate. Wish one day I could participate in an encounter like this. 😌
Truly. I'm watching it on my screen and I'm overwhelmed by these emotions. My heart is full and i had tears in my eyes. If I'm like this now, i wonder what the experience would be like for me in person. ❤
This is so fucking beatiful.
Das hat zwar jetzt nichts mit meinen Ayurveda Reisen zu tun, aber ich finde es einfach Klasse, dass Elefanten jedes Jahr zur Mango Zeit durch die Mfuwe Lodge (in Sambia) zu den Mango Bäumen marschieren dürfen. Und sie machen auch nichts kaputt.
dürfen is the important word here. Everybody knows they do it and everybody lets them through. No one gets hurt and everybody is happy.
А строение по высоте видемо специально спроектированно, что бы слоны проходили. И они себя чувствуют в безопасности. Восхитительно.
had an amazing time there, excellent ! Love it.
So beautiful.. my heart raced watching this :..made me cry with joy how gentle and respectful the elephants were just passing by... I am 100% sure 1-2 were ex orphan from David Shieldrick wild trust life .. these beautiful elephants demeanor were different from other beautiful wild elephants:
I've always heard that African elephants are dangerous and you shouldn't go near them, but I keep seeing these videos of incredibly polite elephants walking around like Japanese guests on their best behavior. What an unbelievable sight...
Every living thing is a danger when protecting their family
what a world we live in.
"Cleanup in the lobby!"
I HAVE NO WORDS TO DESCRIBE SUCH A BEAUTIFUL AND AMAZING CREATURES, INTELLIGENT, GIANTS, POWERFUL, BUT GENTLE, ADORABLE, LOVELY AND ASTONISHED, GOD BLESS THEM FOREVER ♾
This is my new favorite video, thank you.
Awesome! They look so dignified and noble :)
Yes they do Mila
Not only do they look noble & dignified they are
I have watched this video SO many times! I would give much to be able to visit Mfuwe Lodge. Of course, Wonky Tusk is gone now, and I've never seen an update on Wellington, but, oooh, just to be there when the family walks through!
Yah i dont know what happened to wonky, no one updated anything, i tried looking on the internet and all, in 2009 there was another wonky tusk that died but he was a male elephants and old man too. So not sure where is this female wonky tusk now 😔😔😔 i really hope nothing bad happened to them
Wow. What an amazing thing that must be to witness firsthand. Thank you for sharing this footage.
Just owesome.....be blessed for sharing!!
This is wonderful place 💕
How beautiful!!!
Hi Cindy, hope your well. Please check out our TH-cam channel for Zambia, hope you like it.
that is adorable
Beautiful photography.
DARN !.....Now can we see them coming on the New York City subway ? Probably wouldn't even be noticed at rush hour.
My God it's so AMAZING wish can be there.
Glorious, Wonderful!
I've wanted to go there the second I saw it. It was Jack Hannah's animal adventures, I think. Correct me if I'm wrong, there used to be a village there years ago and the elephants ended up trampling a hut that was right there where that lodge is, right there where you saw them pass through. The villagers were of course more than startled. I'm not sure if anyone died. Upon further research, those elephants ancestors and their ancestors used that same migratory route. This route is extremely precise and this lodge demonstrates that. Truly exceptional.
that happened in another village...the villagers burnt fires and hurled sticks at the elephants when they elephants came through their village eating whatever they had. of course i dont blame the villagers ..they were protecting their own ...But as they say, elephants never forget...
Elephants: “Isn’t this nice? The humans built us a nice cabana.”
If you haven't seen this before it's worth it; at 1:58 watch new baby encounter steps for the 1st time...
At last a place where elephants can feel safe, and to think that people kill these magnificent animals for their tusk for the ivory, they should bow their heads in shame! These people should be given another profession to make a living, so they can stop murdering the dwindling elephant populations!
I wonder if it all started because they placed lodge in the middle of the elephants yearly trek. Since nobody has messed with the heard the matriarch hasn't had any reason to change locations
squidb8 on abc they said that they go through it to get to a mango tree in the middle of the lodge that is ripe around that time of year

This video is so utterly amazing, and to think how tolerant these wild elephants
are to the humans. I wonder has anyone tried to offer them a hand held
treat? That answer is probably no.
The next clown with a handheld treat could be carrying a Gun, no wonder ppl are mistrusted
Majestic and beautiful creatures :D. And highly intelligent not to forget :D!
Spa and Resort, they have good time, too cute
This is so beautiful, if only people could
I like it how the parent elephants have the trust to take their young one into human territory
they were so res pectful in their own way. why cant we give them theright to live their own way
Y do u need to use bad language??? Is ur vocabulary so so limited
So basically every year mom decides the family needs a vacation. It even looks like mom is checking in at the front desk. So does the resort maintain any accommodations for these regulars? Like a mini bar (buckets of fresh water), turn down service (a dry area with comfy hay to lay on) , in room massage/aromatherapy vichy shower (a good spray down with the hose)?
This is wonderful and lovely!
Miera osta😘💓💚💗💖❣
This is reminiscent of the daily streaming walk of the Heroin Addicts of Buffalo, NY as they make their routine scheduled walks down Chippewa
Background music is “Vibrant Heritage” by Paul Mottram. Perfect!
MELT MY HEART
I wish that I could go there.
WONDERFUL
Excuse me what do you mean you lost our reservation. I would like to speak to management please.
1:57 Monitor lizard probably
yup !
well spotted!
I LOVE it.
Fang’s family. Awesome site
Where is wonky now? I know there was a wonky tusk that died 2009 but that was a male elephants old man.
i love your vidio
Management needs to put on a side ramp to make it easier for the elephants.
+Marjorie Ferris Why? they're doing just fine! These guys live in the wild - they can manage a few low stairs. I liked watching the little one figure them out - reminded me of a greyhound learning how to do stairs. Going down is always so much harder, LOL.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
nice....
Here again.
Where is this lodge? i love to visit it when elephants are visiting...
its in mfuwe Zambia
I love it
The madness, when is the best time to get this
wow
Zikhomo!.
I'm working on a non-profit video using my own drawings to illustrate 'the elephant in the room'. Would you permit me to incorporate some of your actual footage if I list you in the credits?
I hope these folk haven't chopped down MANGO TREE!!
Check in?? ✅🐘🐘
♥ ♥ ♥
Does anyone know the music? Sounds like Patrick Hawes to me.
“Vibrant Heritage” by Paul Mottram. So peaceful!

Had terrible time. Ellies don't make up for dirty rooms, bad service, bugs in room, rude personnel and stink. Bed felt like rocks. I'll see ellies in a more comfortable setting some where else.
