“I couldn’t believe what I was seeing,” Simone Ruf, an employee at the South Luangwa National Park, said
Table for one, please!
Employee of the Flatdogs Camp in South Luangwa National Park, Africa, Simone Ruf, recently took pictures of an elephant she noticed sitting at a nearby café.
The outlet claims that the wild animal did not linger in the rest area for very long before making its way out and breaking one of the spokes on the table umbrella.
“First, the elephant bull moved the umbrella around, then he decided to sit on the table,” Ruf told the Daily Express, the Daily Mail reported. “It looked like he wanted to use the table as a seat.”
She added, “I think he was mostly just being naughty. No one else saw it. I was by myself. I couldn’t believe what I was seeing.”
According to its website, the South Luangwa National Park is located in eastern Zambia and is known to locals as “the South Park.”
The region, which makes up some 3,500 kilometers of the floor of the Luangwa Valley, was first established in 1904 as the Luangwa Game Park. In 1938, it was changed to become one of three game reserves.
It then became a national park in 1972.
The region is home to more than 400 kinds of birds, 60 species of mammals, and several elephants. It also has a river with hippos and crocodiles, as well as giraffes, zebras, and antelope on its territory.
The South Luangwa National Park’s website describes it as “one of the great remaining unspoiled regions of Africa.”
