Visiting elephants

A regular occurrence at the Mfuwe Lodge in the South Luangwa National Park in Zambia where the lodge was unwittingly built on the Elephant's traditional path through to some wild mango trees on the property. 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.

this would be a unique vacation maybe a trifle risky. the idea reminds me of a hotel in Atlanta, Georgia back in the 60's where at certain times of the day one could find ducks waddling through the lobby to the hotel fountain.

Yeah, I lived in a hotel in the early eighties in San Francisco, where on most days, just after lunch, you could see hippies drift through. You had to sit still though, they were skittish. If you were lucky, you could smell their pot and hear snippets of hummed Bob Dylan tunes.

    Didn't know you lived in my neigbourhood. Any fave Bay Area hangouts?

    We get ducks in our swimming pool.

    Had an elephant loose on the A41 in Chester once. Came to a sad end.
