Elephants are passionate about the delicious tangy marula fruits growing naturally in the savannah and wild about oranges too. With their superior sense of smell, an elephant can sniff out an orange from a great distance so beware they may raid your vehicle for one of these juicy fruits!
Marula and oranges contain high levels of antioxidants and vitamin C – a great support for the immune system.
Close your eyes, take a sip and indulge in flavors of the African elephants’ favored fruits!
A bush delicacy for the elephant is the prickly pear cactus, especially the delicious, delicately flavored fruit.
Removing the prickles is no problem for these intelligent beasts who use their feet to rub away the thorns – we don’t advise trying this at home!
The prickly pear contains polyphenols, minerals and vitamins and in traditional medicine, the pulp of the prickly pear fruit has been used to treat inflammation and even hangovers.
