A real bush experience
Overall rating
5/5

We saw elephants with the biggest tusks of southern Africa, lots of other animals and birds. The accomodation was good in tents with private bathrooms, the food was very good and served in a thatched boma. In the evening we enjoyed the shows of local singers and dancers. The Tembe staff, working in the lodge, kitchen and guides, are all people of the original Tembe tribe, who used to live in this area. You can only visit the park by 4x4 or with guides, because of the sand roads. Because of the habitat of sand forest, woodland, grassland, and swampland Tembe is a unique park to visit.

Last Encounter with Gentle Giants (Elephants)
Overall rating
5/5

To see these huge Tuskers is an awesome priveledge that few people get to see. Tembe is still far away from being touristy and one get's a magical experience in the bush with the local community that are hands on as rangers and camp staff. Loved staying in the safari tents and hearing the night sounds.
The highlight was sitting at the hides for hours watching the wildlife!
A true African bush/wilderness experience with lots of wildlife.

The biggest and most spectacular "tuskers" I have photographed in Southern Africa come from this park. It is a bit off the beaten track and on a gravel path to get there but once there you do definetly get the bush vibe.
