ZAMBIA - ELEPHANTS UP CLOSE: WILD MANGOS CALL WONKY TUSK AND FAMILY EVERY NOVEMBER

 
Mfuwe Lodge

SOUTH LUANGWA NATIONAL PARK, ZAMBIA (September 2, 2010) - The Bushcamp Company has a couple spots left to see "Wonky Tusk" and baby "Wellington" as they make their yearly journey to Mfuwe Lodge in search of wild mangos. These remarkably gentle local elephants meander through the lobby of the lodge happily and without incident for years. The spectacle has enticed BBC Big Cat Diary presenter, author and wildlife photographer Jonathan Scott to return and lead expeditions along with renowned Bushcamp Company guide, leopard & giraffe expert and former Luangwa park warden, Phil Berry. The safari is from the 3rd to the 10th of November, but hurry, spaces are now limited! For more info and videos visit www.bushcampcompany.com/elephants_in_reception.php and www.mfuwelodge.com.
