Kerry De Bruyn – Swala – Sanctuary Retreats

The elephants that came to dinner

Built over an ancient elephant path, Mfuwe Lodge is renowned for its bountiful mango tree. Every spring, when the fruits ripen, an entire elephant herd lumbers through the lodge reception to gorge themselves on the feast beyond.

“…few can sojourn long within the unspoilt wilderness of a game sanctuary, surrounded on all sides by its confiding animals, without absorbing its atmosphere; the Spirit of the Wild is quick to assert supremacy, and no man of any sensibility can resist her.”
