This is a reserve of some 30,000 hectares backs onto Ndumo Game Park. Tembe Elephant Park is a concession run by the Tembe Clan of the Zulus’ in conjunction with the Kwa-Zulu Natal Parks Board.
With only one camp operating at the moment, it is a fully equipped with luxury tents, en suite bathrooms and a covered outside shower. It is very well run and serviced with three meals a day. The game drives were great! We were hosted by knowledgeable guides and everything was always in the right place.
The elephants played hard to get but once we found them they were the biggest animals I have seen. There greatest pride are their tusks and they were a delight to photograph. The vegetation was lush and it appeared that it had rained a bit more frequently. We had regular downpours on the trip. We even had rain even on the game drives. This was altogether a good experience.
