We were having breakfast in the Zambezi National Park… and then this happened!

Breakfast with an elephant visitor

Breakfasts at Zambezi National Park are always special, but this one was truly unforgettable!

It was a beautiful morning. The birds were chirping, and the aroma of freshly brewed coffee wafted through the air. Our breakfast table was set up with an array of delectable items, ready for us to savour the flavours amidst the stunning wilderness.

But little did we know, we were about to have a breakfast experience like no other.

As we enjoyed our meal, sharing laughter and stories, a rustling sound from the nearby bushes caught our attention. And then, out of the lush greenery, emerged a majestic African elephant, strolling towards us with an air of nonchalant grace.

We held our breath as this beautiful creature, a symbol of the African wilderness, sauntered past our breakfast table. Its immense presence, coupled with the peaceful tranquillity of the morning, created a surreal moment – a reminder of how close we were to nature in its most unfiltered form. It was a moment where time seemed to stand still, imprinted forever in our memories.

This encounter was an extraordinary testament to the harmony that can exist between humans and wildlife when we respect their space and observe from a distance. It was a humbling experience that reinforced the beauty of the wildlife that calls the Zambezi National Park home.

We invite you to watch the video of this incredible encounter and share in the awe-inspiring experience that only a safari in the Zambezi National Park can offer.

In the wild heart of Africa, every day holds the promise of a new adventure, a new story, and, if you’re as lucky as we were, a breakfast companion you’ll never forget.
