Elephants of Mfuwe Lodge
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.

Hi Jack, please check out our Zambia travel channel. thank u so much
Elephants are so majestic and love their families....
Visitor: We need to acknowledge the elephant in the room. Receptionist: Which one?
I just adore Wellie and love this 🐘 family! 🤗
Just stunning!!! Elephants are so intelligent, family orientated and majestic!! Sharing this for sure!
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.
They are so precious...makes me smile deep inside. So glad that no one harms these elegant beings. At least in that area.
I am so proud yo live on Africa an be part of this
how it should be.....man and animal lving together in harmony

This was actually built through it, the Elephants simply refused to change course so the hotel owners had to improvise
This is what happens when you get a wonderful country like Zambia who look after their wildlife.
had an amazing time there, excellent ! Love it.
I love seeing man and elephants together this way... beautiful.... thank you.
0:45 - 0:55 is the money shot! Beautiful! 🐘
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
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

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. 😌

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 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
that is adorable
Wow. What an amazing thing that must be to witness firsthand. Thank you for sharing this footage.
How beautiful!!!

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...

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 ♾
My God it's so AMAZING wish can be there.
Glorious, Wonderful!
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.
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
"Cleanup in the lobby!"
А строение по высоте видемо специально спроектированно, что бы слоны проходили. И они себя чувствуют в безопасности. Восхитительно.
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

Beautiful photography.
Majestic and beautiful creatures :D. And highly intelligent not to forget :D!
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...
This is so beautiful, if only people could
DARN !.....Now can we see them coming on the New York City subway ? Probably wouldn't even be noticed at rush hour.
Spa and Resort, they have good time, too cute
MELT MY HEART
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!
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
This is wonderful and lovely!
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)?
Miera osta😘💓💚💗💖❣
If you haven't seen this before it's worth it; at 1:58 watch new baby encounter steps for the 1st time...
I wish that I could go there.
I LOVE it.
Background music is “Vibrant Heritage” by Paul Mottram. Perfect!
Elephants: “Isn’t this nice? The humans built us a nice cabana.”
WONDERFUL

I like it how the parent elephants have the trust to take their young one into human territory
Fang’s family. Awesome site
This is reminiscent of the daily streaming walk of the Heroin Addicts of Buffalo, NY as they make their routine scheduled walks down Chippewa
I love it
Excuse me what do you mean you lost our reservation. I would like to speak to management please.
i love your vidio
nice....
The madness, when is the best time to get this
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.
Where is wonky now? I know there was a wonky tusk that died 2009 but that was a male elephants old man.
wow
Here again.
Where is this lodge? i love to visit it when elephants are visiting...

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?
Does anyone know the music? Sounds like Patrick Hawes to me.

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.
