This remote park, deep in an area of sand forests, pans and wetlands in northern Tongaland, lies on the border between KwaZulu-Natal and Mozambique. The diversity of birdlife is spectacular. The park is situated within the sand veld ecological zone and consists mainly of closed woodland and secondary thicket formation. The zone falls within a transition area between tropical and sub-tropical forms and therefore is home to a great diversity of vegetation.

With this diversity of habitats Tembe is home to a spectacular variety of animals and birds. Tembe is a special place with basic visitor facilities and a road system consistant with the wilderness management of the area.

Safari Game Drives
Come and enjoy the thrill of a Tembe safari game drive in one of our open vehicles. Shiver with anticipation as you edge up close to one of Tembe's giants. Feel their steady gaze as they size you up – as you observe each other. And meet one of the most dangerous animals in Africa – the Cape Buffalo – and watch as even the lions tread carefully around the horns of the massive buffalo bulls.

Meet the Big Five
What would a game safari be without spotting the complete Big 5! There's no doubt you will see some of Tembe's celebrated elephants and buffalo, but how about experiencing the prehistoric-looking white rhinos and their slightly smaller relatives, the black rhinos. Observe the deadly yet graceful leopard, and feel the overwhelming macho presence of a male lion and the casual power of the lionesses.
