I was recently asked to go a nearby game lodge (which will soon  be revealed!) to go and do some artwork for prints for their hotel and chalet rooms and while I was doing the artwork two elephants near the watering hole which is right in front of the lodge started mating right in front of me. Because I was taking pics of arty things I didn’t have a longer lens with me (which killed me) but I still managed to get some ok shots with my 50mm and 70mm. Man how I wish I had my 300mm!! It was still a great experience watching them. They played in the water for about an hour, rolling around, dunking each other under water and of course…getting it on!

Check-In with Elephants at Mfuwe Lodge, Zambia!

Check-In with Elephants at Mfuwe Lodge, Zambia!

Mfuwe Lodge is no ordinary hotel! In fact, it’s a VERY SPECIAL place inside Zambia’s world-famous South Luangwa National Park!
