Enjoyed the atmosphere, friendly staff, accomodation and the safari drives. Very knowledgeable safari guide who was friendly, great sense of humour and made the trip more special ( thank you- Philemon ). Would definitely return to Tembe and recommend it.

6/10 Good

Birds and birds again!
The staff are great however the game drives were not. If you like bird watching then great if not think about another park. The guide spent more time looking at birds and vegetation than any of the big 5. The vegetation is so thick near to the tracks it is impossible to spot anything ground level. The evening meals were poor but the breakfast was very good.

8/10 Very good

Very few places are now available in the world where you can stay, at a good price, and get the experience of being treated well by friendly staff and be so close to the natural world which is on the "doorstep". Accomodation (in tents) is superb with all all reasonable facilities having been considered and provided for the guests. Highly recommended for those interested in the (sadly declining) natural world who want to experience part of Africa's fantastic heritage before it disappears.

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.

Leider viel Regen. Dadurch wenige Tiere gesehen, auch weil der Busch zu hoch und dicht bewachsen.

Das Hauszelt im Busch war sehr schön eingerichtet. Hilfsbereites Personal. Die Game Drives mit kundigem Guide sehr schön. Lwider kaum Elefanten gesehen. Ein Löwenrudel entschädigte das Vermissen anderer Tierarten.
