Indlovu

Indlovu Gin is a unique South African gin brand known for using botanicals sourced from elephant dung. The idea was conceived by Paula Ansley during a safari in Kenya. Together with her husband Les Ansley, they started producing Indlovu Gin, which means "elephant" in several African languages. The dung is collected, cleansed, and dried to extract botanicals that are then infused into the gin, providing a distinctive flavour profile that varies by season due to the elephants' diet. This process also allows each batch of gin to have its own unique taste, akin to wine vintages. The company commits to conservation efforts by donating 15% of their profits to wildlife projects, including the Africa Foundation for the Phinda Wildlife Project.
