Tembe Elephant Park

Excellent séjour dans le bush d'une journée Séjour sous une grande tente bien aménagée avec sanitaire en dur. Un peu isolé dans le bush ce qui nous a permis de profiter des bruits de la nature. Petite piscine commune pour se rafraichir. 2 safaris par jour compris dans le prix. Merci à Patrick, notre guide, pour son dévouement. Petit déjeuner et repas variés et de très bonne qualité.

Das Tented camp liegt wunderschön im lichten Wald und bietet ruhige großzügige, saubere und schöne Tents / Zelte , die verstreut im abgezäunten Camp Gelände liegen. Die inklusiven Gamedrives morgens und abends sind gut organsiert und wirklich schön. Das Essen ist im Preis ebenfalls inklusive und immer wirklich schmackhaft und gut zubereitet. Wir haben wundervolle Beobachtungen von Elefanten gemacht , aber auch Löwen haben wir aus guter Nähe gesehen. Die Atmosphäre im Camp ist sehr positiv und angenehm. Gerne werden wir wieder kommen . Es war eine tolle schöne Zeit im Tembe camp.

We had a wonderful stay, thanks for sharing this wonderfull place with us. Thank you Patrick for the wonderfull game drive, the Elephants were impressive... 🙏😌😱

The birdwatching was excellent!!!

We spent two days in this nice park and in this lodge, completely managed by people from the local community. Our tent was cozy, nice and with enough space for bags and stuff and the tents are very far one from another, that is very appreciable. We loved the outside shower. Meals are good. Our guide Thulani was very nice and skilled and it was a pleasure to have game drives with him. Meals are good. Something I didn’t like was the lack of transparency about price of beverage during safari and meals: it was completely unclear, they informed us only during our second day – and only on my request - that a bottle of white wine for sundowner costed just 3 time a glass, otherwise I would have ordered the bottle since the first day. We were told that the red wine for dinner costed Rand 170 but on the final bill we found Rand 190. For breakfast, I ordered an espresso coffee that was charged Rand 20 and I was not informed about it. I think these matters are very important. The place (park, tents, safari, our guide) would be rated 5 but for this lack of clarity about price I rate it 4.

Stayed 2 nights in this park renowned for its Elephants including many large “Tuskers”. Tented accommodation is superb. Situated on raised wooden platforms with all facilities and lovely outdoor shower. The units are well away from (and out of sight of ) each other. Food was good. Staff were friendly and appeared to be very capable, -it amazed me that I would struggle to get my heavy suitcases out of the pick up, only for a couple of happy, young girls (half my size) to think nothing of lifting them onto their head and carrying them the 10 minute walk to our accommodation. The game drives were very good as the guides and vehicles are well known to the elephants (self drives are not permitted) enabling close encounters with them. Also a trip to the hide overlooking the main waterhole is very rewarding. The stay was definitely good value. We stayed out of season and benefitted from the camp not being full, however I would think that if the camp was full to capacity some aspects may start to get uncomfortable.
