Some rather large hotel guests
A luxury hotel in Zambia has gotten used to some rather large guests who make an annual visit.
A herd of elephants visit every November to munch on some nearby mango trees when the fruit gets ripe. Seems the elephants, who are migratory, made a habit of visiting the trees before the hotel was built. When they found the hotel in the way one year, they
simply strolled through t
he reception area to find theirfavorite food. When the fruit is in season, the herd of 10 elephants visit every day or every other day, walking right through the reception area and coming and going as they please.
The herd is led each time by its matriarch, nicknamed Wonky Tusk by the staff.
The wild elephants get relatively close to the staff, but staff members said they are careful to keep guests at a distance because wild elephants can be extremely dangerous, though there have been no incidents between humans and the elephants thus far.
