The Ivory Lodge

After a lovely visit to Matopos, we visited the Ivory Lodge for a wonderful safari.

The cottages are cozy and built on stilts...so different from the last time I stayed somewhere with stilts!

I confess: I fell asleep here in the warmth of the sun.

The lodge's common area.

The Ivory Lodge is known for its frequent visitors: the Presidential herd.

Elephants and a giraffe seeking water at the lodge's pan during the dry season.

I love, love, love how giraffes drink.

Although I suspect I love baby elephants a lot more....

Hello, baby elephant!

Hello, giraffes!
