The Story Behind
TEMBE ELEPHANT PARK
OUR HISTory
Tembe is the only community-owned, full-service game lodge located in a proclaimed game reserve.
A beautiful sand forest ecosystem in the middle of unspoiled bush.
Spot many of Tembe’s 340 bird species from your own verandah, enjoy a hot open-air shower under the stars, and sleep safely surrounded by the sounds of the African bush.
Small animals wander through the camp grounds day and night, and the animals hardly know it is there. Sometimes it’s just an experience to stay in camp and let wild Africa come to you.
A TRIUMPH FOR COMMUNITY CONSERVATION
IN MEMORY OF TOM MAHAMBA
The legendary Tom Mahamba was our Hospitality Manager from when Tembe Lodge was first established until his passing in 2017. He is sorely missed, and this short video is a tribute to this great man and his love for the place in which he lived and worked.
