Tembe Elephant Park is located in the north-east of South Africa at the border to Mozambique.
I visited Tembe Elephant Park the first time in 2013. And it become my favourite game reserve park in South Africa. A success story of a tribe who changed to preserve the nature and live together with the wild animals. Please support their projects and come to a visit. Wonderful gamedrives, well educated rangers, a very friendly staff and a delicious kitchen will wait for you.

A big thank you to Vusi and the Voices of Tembe who gave me the favour to record their song.

I besuchte Tembe zum ersten Mal in 2013. And es wurde mein Lieblings-Wildreservat in Südafrika. Eine Erfolgsgeschichte eines Stammes der sich änderte um die Natur und die Tiere zu schützen und mit ihnen zu leben. Bitte unterstützt die Projekte von Tembe und kommt zu einem Besuch. Wunderschöne Wildfahrten, sehr gut ausgebildete Ranger, ein sehr freundliches Personal und eine köstliche Küche wartet auf dich!
