Elephants drinking from the pool at Impodimo Safari Lodge - spinning around the world

Day 361 of 400: Impodimo Safari Lodge...spinning around the world. We were lounging around the pool at our lodge and a herd of elephant came up to drink from the swimming pool. Very Cool...

[@treehugger7185]

Thank you for not startling them or speak loudly to irritate them. That was nice that you whispered showing some respect. The elephants normally love to jump in the water and roll over. But, they are so smart they know this place belongs to someone with instinct, and the way they behave is like, hey this is someone else's place and just drink a little and not make a mess. How intelligent.

[@bigbiemacaw]

That was unbridled fear lol..

[@joshg9122]

@Anna K You don't get it. It's a show of respect to whisper. It has nothing to do with elephants having big ears or how sensitive they are to hearing.

[@iangoldsworthy2056]

No sudden movements or noises. Yes they don't mind the wildlife callings but a noise they find unfamiliar they see as a threat.

[@amaliabatista7494]

Tree Hugger Ja, ja, ja. you are right. They are really smart and " politically correct ", more than some humans peoples !!!

[@ignezmaciel2102]

Those people are very lucky ! What a privilege to be there !!

[@JordanVanRyn]

I love how very respectful you are towards the elephants in their presence. I wish more people who come to see animals in their natural habitat have that same courtesy as you guys. Plus Africa has gotta be incredible to see.

[@tmarie2u279]

Who knew Elephants had such excellent pool manners. No running, pushing or shoving. Everyone politely waiting their turn. Though they could have hogged the whole pool they thoughtfully only used a small section and were careful to keep splashing to discreet minimum. They would be the ideal non-chlorinated pool party guests ...............until you got the water bill.

[@melaniewalker5226]

Tmarie2u great comment lol

[@eksine]

Water is pretty cheap, you can't afford a couple bucks?

[@daktarioskarvannederhosen2568]

Lolz

[@OTTO149x]

Every time I see a video of elephants drinking from the pool I'm struck by what perfect guests they always are. No trumpeting, no shoving, no intimidating, no stepping on the boards and breaking them to bits, no rampaging through the huts and destroying everything. Nope. Perfect guests. And that is one of the deadliest animals on the planet...

[@DoubleDogDare54]

Check out the video of the bull elephant that came to lunch at the Mana Pool camp. They are not always "perfect guests".

[@rzadan]

They are magnificent. Save the elephants by NOT buying ivory items. How hard can it be??

[@maxcaysey2844]

tell 1.3 billion Chinese people that!

[@Lilliz91]

That’s on asian people. They literally keep the market up for it. Western world basically doesn’t care for that shit.

[@iangoldsworthy2056]

Its not just ornaments it is also used in healing medicines. That's why its so difficult to trace the origin of source it gets shipped too. Also the sellers of the medicines don't like to be identified either. A few free lance journalists have felt.the wrath from it.

[@Tsamokie]

Save all the animals that certain terrible human want to exploit. Don't buy anything from China. Beware of what you buy from Africa. Leave the wild animals alone. We are all much better off with them being free in their natural setting. Seeing videos of wild animals in their natural habitat is enough for me.

[@greyscout50]

So,SO glad the water is potable! what a wonderful clip!

[@bigbiemacaw]

Hope theres no chlorine in the pool..

[@2dasimmons]

Have you seen the water dear elephants are used to drinking?! Chlorine would be like a freshener😔

[@elizabethczepiel5220]

In an animal's world - everything is free! All they have to do is go and get it! Just to see the joy on people's faces when just a drink is being taken says it all! :-)

[@llothar68]

Not true, in animal world it is either free or might cost your life.

[@rahultn5125]

Elizabeth Czepiel Complexities of the world were created by chutzpah humans.

[@adilosafi6400]

its the strongest animal on earth he can get it without permission :D

[@DeniatitadenCompostela]

In the animal world the earth has custody of all living beings and takes care of us. Western mind things they own the earth an only money talks.

[@janecerrone6161]

Thanks so much for producing this video. It made my day. Such beautiful creatures.

[@undomiel972]

If that happened to me while I was chillin and enjoying my place, i would probably cry a bucket. I've always wanted to witness Elephants in their own natural habitat doing whatever it is they do. And its such a beautiful moment to witness these wonderful gentle creatures enjoying their water :)) this is why I really want to go on a Safari lodge and just be one with nature.

[@sirrichardlangfordii7247]

I love it when elephants drink out of swimming pools!

[@arfakamyabipour7473]

That’s amazing 😍 awwwwww look at the baby elephant 🥰♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️ Thankyou for sharing this amazing video 🌺

[@blackcosmos]

These elephants have excellent pool etiquette.

[@Aurinkohirvi]

I have a feeling they've been drinking there before. Thank you for the wonderful upload!

[@Shadow2084]

One of my favorite animals - they're beautiful and so graceful. Thanks for this awesome video!

[@zoesgma]

What a beautiful video - thank you for sharing it.

[@MRmigeek]

Great video :) its great to finally see educated ppl/ tourist around wild animals :))

[@lordbyron3603]

Thank you for sharing. Magnificent creatures.

[@lisagast4616]

This is one of the things on my bucket list I would love to see an elephant in their habitat like this

[@angelshyam]

Now that's a lovely video. So cool so obedient....they are just to themselves. People who have closely seen them are so lucky. God wonderful creatures.

[@theducklinghomesteadandgar6639]

So beautiful!!! This is the way wildlife should eb observed, in their natural habitat not in cages or even enclosures!!!! Free!!! I love elephants, such gentle giants unless one threatens one of them then you get not only the rage of the one you get the whole heard of females and young bucks!!!

[@rainbowcreationsbydeniseco7570]

I love elephants. 💜🧡💛💚💙🐘🐘🐘🐘

[@sumofme1]

Thank you ever so much for sharing your fascinating elephant experience. They're precious gifts from God.

[@gerardine3063]

Je regarde cette vidéo avec é normément de plaisir, je sent le bonheur de ce couple, cet amour qu’ils ressentent. en regardant cette scène 🌎🌿❤️

[@kyle47922]

What a beautiful animal.

[@okpunky]

I agree with you. I love elephants. Gentle Giants. 👍🏼

[@goudjomichel]

I swear we dont deserve these beautiful gentle giants😭😭

[@jillneer8577]

Not exactly gentle. Elephants in a zoo are trained to interact with humans, but in the wild, they can charge anyone that pisses them off. I’ve seen videos where wild elephants have charged safari vehicles and flipped over cars and trucks. They are very strong and powerful.

[@tobyw9573]

The elephants seem respectful.

[@okpunky]

Thanks from Canada 🇨🇦For sharing your Amazing video with us all. I love Elephants. They truly Are amazing animals. Their hearts their souls and are beautiful animals. I just wish ppl would Stop poaching these amazing animals for tusks. I would never ever purchase any Ivory. NEVER. PLEASE ppl do NOT buy anything that's Ivory. Put them poachers out of business!!You both are so lucky to have been that close to watch themDrink the water out of your or the pool you were planning on swimming in. How did you both stay so calm ???? I hope if I were ever in that situation I could stay as calmAs you both did. And just enjoy watching. Baby elephants are so adorable. AgainThanks for posting your video 👍🏼🇨🇦

[@darkcloud5530]

I find it so facinating that people can't seem to be quiet even if their lives are on the line. They could make all the comments in the world AFTER the ellies left. But no, humans. The girl said "this is our pool what's going on?" You're in THEIR AFRICA is what's going on!

[@rajendragupta1943]

She is beautiful

[@Bruno-ho5jl]

I like elephants and most other animals a whole lot more than I like most humans.

[@kristieingram2039]

I would absolutely love to be there watching the elephants as I have always wanted to do . UP CLOSE AND PERSONAL !

[@sharegreats2157]

A nice and impressive video!

[@beekeeeper5236]

Shhhhh Elephants scan here low frequency hums miles away that are undetectable to human ears. The Whispering is so cute. Very nice video.

[@kashifkhan-zh2bm]

Such a beautiful and intelligent creature on the earth so much civilized .....looks like a bunch of pool party creature

[@McSymm_Mcsymm]

Very polite elephants.

[@mortalclown3812]

Hoping there was no chlorine. How magnificent. Wow. :-)

[@tananamee2324]

Very lucky look close up. From Thailand.

[@jimmygandhi6691]

Look the respect & smartness of elephant they not came in to swiming pool @ not waste to water

[@evah787]

Elephants are the best! !!!

[@ranjanprakash2521]

This is a great video. The coule here is showing due respect to the elephants by talking in a low tone. I like that.

[@merlecharge5303]

THATS SOME POOL PARTY... JUST LOVE IT WHAT A BEAUTIFUL EXPERIENCE FOR THOSE GUESTS

[@V.E.R.O.]

Beautiful location made even more beautiful by the elephants! 💕 I also enjoyed how you interacted with each other and the elephants.

[@suenetteedwards5965]

I don't know about you, but pool water just doesn't quench my thirst! ;-D

[@treelover1050]

THANKS FOR SHARING THIS..

[@haivannguyen6812]

That is so cute baby .

[@2dasimmons]

That's cleanest water they've had probably EVER. Poor ELEPHANTS, they need protection from poachers/killers. Gov't should protect them from thugs😞

[@essieaku9462]

Wow! Thank you for sharing!

[@kacixcc]

Wow, they brought the whole herd with them.

[@sylvianeseguignes4065]

Belle vidéo

[@johnnyc3832]

That's why you don't pee in the pool!!

[@jensan417]

Hope that pool doesn’t have chlorine! I love the video thanks ❤️

[@AND838]

It does its lightly chlorinated, not a big issue for human much more for an elephant.

[@happylifeSteph]

Such wonderful animals … thanks für sharing 🤗🙏

[@alfcab]

Beautiful. And the dude is not bad either. ; )

[@bigbiemacaw]

Ewe...

[@bones3552]

Death sentence for anyone who kills an Elephant.

[@marioncampone2362]

What a beautiful sight , would love to go there one day and experience such a moment

[@santamaria3592]

Wow! Proud of them and proud of you!

[@timedrain2870]

This place makes their money providing guest an upclose look at elephants in the neighborhood. When you arrive you are told that you may get a visit from an elephant wanting a drink of your pool. You are told to not make sharp movements or loud noises. The pools are kept up in a way that elephants who regularly visit them will not be made it.

[@greenyoshigamergamingvlogs5197]

That's so beautiful!!

[@shorbafrik3005]

Amazing animals, thank you 💚💚💚💚

[@dionnedunsmore9996]

I love how they yield to the newer arrivals. If another herd showed up, the ones we see now would all step aside or leave

[@jooolz69]

This is amazing!

[@megalopolis4510]

QUE LINDOS AMO A LOS ELEFANTITOS, SON TODOS LINDOS, Y GIGANTES ,...

[@Anthony-zt1zs]

That is VERY cool.

[@Tsamokie]

Here's my question. When an elephant is sucking water into its trunk, how does he know when to stop? How far up does the water go? Yeah, yeah, yaaah, I know this is a weird line of thought but I always think about this question. Can an elephant sense the progression of the water as he draws it up into his trunk? I'm gonna say, YES. OK, that aside, the elephant is an very very strange lifeform. It can't run. It is the biggest land animal. It has ears the size of a satellite dish. Its nose is up to six feet long. It is as big as a cabin. It is a tranquil vegetarian. It is an delight.

[@jeanetteharris7811]

Thank you for sharing. Inspires me to get there sooner than later.

[@dionnedunsmore9996]

❤️😁i love it!!

[@amandajanesworld9849]

This is soo brilliant😀 Lucky people !💕

[@marshalllaw123]

That had to be so awesome!! What an experience!

[@genokemp2433]

Sorry for my french ..but fcuking amazing to have been there to see that ,would have made my holiday instantly

[@tasheenajohnson602]

Lawd it’s the whole family 🤣

[@aaahtex902]

ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL

[@richardturner7060]

What a moment in time😮😀😁

[@summersands8105]

Hope the pool wasn't heavily chlorinated. Chlorine is not good for elephants to drink.

[@zettaspeed]

Thats not wild elepanth right? Some of them wearing neckless. Correct me if i am wrong, but still awsome to be so close with that massive creature. Sorry about my broken english

[@wandaburgess9400]

Wow, not too many people in the world will ever experience this, *EVER* What I wouldn't give to have been there, to see this!!!

[@milo5524]

This must be real clean water for them...

[@sharkattack8560]

Fred flintstones vacuum cleaner. 🐘

[@darilynadams7281]

Did the pool have chlorine in it? If so, I hope it doesn't harm the elephants? It was a thrill for you to have them visit you!

[@jomama5186]

That's so cool

[@bobduvar]

Dry or on the rocks your pool cocktail ? Dry please.....

[@John_..]

I wonder with these swimming pool videos is the water safe to drink with the chemicals? Theyre nice though.

[@marisayodrak2716]

thanks so much. 😊😊😊😊😊

[@j.ga.s.7331]

this is where I will be staying next year on vacation.

[@lwhitt9655]

There beautiful and thirsty

[@notnek202]

Is there chlorine in the pool? I hope it’s safe for elephants.

[@mamamiacempaka8002]

So cute

[@stuff2047]

Amazing

[@helloher3876]

what do you think would the elephant do if the thing was closed by a big door and he knows there is water in the other side and the human open the door and let him pass to take water? go and drink the water or maybe attack the human?

[@joselucnico]

Elephant : Oooh god, fresh water !

[@2dasimmons]

Wow! Mr. ELEPHANT "hiding" behind a tree to figure out when it's safe for him togged a drink of water!11 WOW. This is wrong. At least this couple was benign!!. May God bless ELEPHANTS and keep them safe from humans:/

[@tdk7388ify]

How adorable are they?

[@gulmerton2394]

Is the water of this pool drinkable for these elephants ?

[@ellisjames7192]

Does that water have chlorine in it? If so, how does that affect the elephants?

[@Rob76kim]

BEAUTIFUL🐘🐘🐘

[@ferlinmarcini]

aren't the pool water mixed with caporit and other chemicals?

[@roryyymercury8709]

i wonder if the water is filtered to keep clean or they use.baking soda. which shouldn't be a problem for elephants

[@Wilhem275]

Is that water safe to drink?

[@stablecircleh]

The elephants are so quite.

[@shannoncane3774]

Elephant loved the tested of chlorine bleach flavor .... Yummy 🌊💦🐘🐘🐘😅
