Elephant herd marches through hotel

A herd of wild elephants recently walked through the reception of the Mfuwe Lodge hotel in Zambia.

The hotel was built in the 9,5000 sq km South Luangwa National Park and it is a regular occurrence for the animals to appear there around November.

The resort was accidentally placed on the path near the creatures' favourite mango trees.

"This is a totally natural phenomenon, the elephants come here of their own accord and it is certainly a rare but magnificent sight," said hotel director Andy Hogg.

"There is ten in that herd and it is only that herd that comes through. It is a strange thing."

Guests are warned to not approach the elephants and no incidents have occurred so far, reports Metro.
