Mfuwe Lodge

---

Dinner at Mfuwe Lodge with lodge manager Ian. Mfuwe Lodge won the best lodge in Zambia last year and it’s a stunning place.

There’s a number of camera crews arriving in the coming weeks to see Wonky Tusk and Wellington; mother and son elephants. Her herd come though the reception area to reach a wild mango tree on the grounds of Mfuwe Lodge. When Wellington was just a few months old, a film crew captured the phenomena and it must be relatively famous footage to attract the film crews now. So even though the same herd come to Flatdogs and I’m sure other lodges, it’s the juxtaposition - wild animals against the backdrop of a very exclusive lodge, that I think makes it compelling viewing.

Wonky Tusk is named so as one of her tusks angles inwards. But it’s even more wonky this year as half of her wonky tusk has gone missing.
