  • Pencil Cases & calculators
  • Wind-up torches
  • Card games
  • Any type of arts & crafts materials
  • Balloons & stickers (great motivational tool for younger pupils)
  • Footballs with pumps
  • Sports kits

Ele Africa Collection

The Ele Africa collection of jewellery is inspired by the elephants of the South Luangwa, in particular those that walk through Mfuwe Lodge every November in search of wild mango. All sales from the beautiful collection support Conservation South Luangwa’s anti-poaching programmes and the Commit to Clean Water project in the local community of the Luangwa Valley.
