Will you need help carrying in your trunk?

You may find the room a bit cramped

Will you want connecting Rooms?


Returning on their annual November migration, they found the lodge built next to their favorite mango tree. Evidently content to find special accomodations had been provided during their absence, they just walk right through. The lodge reports that their human occupancy has greatly increased in November since word has gotten out about the annual residency of the elephants.

That's awesome!  Could be very dangerous though, as I'm sure most of you have seen the videos of an elephant that suddenly freaks out and goes on a rampage...still, such beautiful creatures (they're my wife's absolute favorite animal)

Elephants usually only freak out when they are chained up all the time and forced to do tricks for people by men with steel hooks... from what I know about wild elephants, unless you get too close to a baby or get involved in mating-season scuffles, they are pretty laid-back around people.

They also usually give ample warning if they don't like something you're doing. You can argue with them if you like, but I wouldn't recommend it. ;D

That would be fun to stay there... i also am very fond of elephants.

Looks like an amazing place. I wonder how much it would cost to by one of those bull elephants a margarita?      [smiley=bigsmile.gif]

Ah yes, Mfuwe Lodge, just around the bend from Mbwebwe Province, home of Geaorge of the Jungle. Why, I wouldn't be at all surprised to learn one of those pachoderms is George's pet doggie, Shep. ;D
