Baby Ellie's or heaven! Welcome to Lilayi Lodge!


Sunday, one of the most amazing experiences of my life!  Sara, Rachel, Ellen ( one of Sara's good friends), and I drove 30min outside of town to Lilayi Lodge, where the Game Rangers International Elephant Orphanage Project is housed just outside of Lusaka.

We spent an hour and a half watching the four baby elephants, the youngest only four months, all of whom were rescued as their mothers were killed by poachers.

We watched them bottle feed, play with each other, get scratches from the game keeps ( Kelvin is who we talked to the most) and just be baby Ellie's!  They were completely adorable and Rachel and I are hoping to go back to the lodge to stay for a few days and see if we can help with them. 

Enjoy the pictures!
