The Elephants of Sasakwa

Most memorable have been the huge herds of elephants, seen in numbers of 100 plus, that have frequented the hill at Sasakwa Lodge.

When the worlds largest land animal arrives on your doorstop you cannot help but feel a little claustrophobic. When 5 tons of elephant bull tries to push its way into the lodge you do begin to panic a little. The ellies confidently invade your home, eat your pot plants and drink straight from the hose pipe - not a horse in sight! These images were taken by Martin Dodwell at the stables at Sasakwa.
