Tembe Elephant Park borders Mozambique and was founded in 1983. In addition to the largest elephants in the world, at Tembe Elephant Park you can also find all other members of the Big 5, the endangered African wild dog and rare Suni antelope. The park protects numerous ecosystems, including some of the most pristine sand forest in South Africa and a vast expanse of wetlands. A visit to Mahlasela Elephant Hide is essential; here you can witness large herds of thirsty elephants gather at the waterhole. Entrance to the Park is limited to 10 vehicles per day and the sand road network within gives only 4x4’s access, as a result Tembe Elephant Park offers an intimate and truly unique African safari experience.
