In Swahili, tembo means ‘elephant.’ The majestic giant of African wildlife has lent its name to Tembo Plains Camp, located in the heart of Sapi Private Reserve, east of Mana Pools National Park. In this wildlife sanctuary, the sense of adventure can be felt even from the property’s elegant suites: from your terrace you can watch elephants, buffalos and hippos as they cool off on the banks of the Zambezi River. For a closer look, you can observe them from the water on a boating or canoeing excursion. Lions, leopards and African wild dogs also inhabit this former hunting estate, now part of a biodiversity conservation programme, which you can explore by day or night in a safari vehicle, or on foot, led by experienced guides. Back at camp, unwind in your private suite with a plunge pool and spacious veranda, with a professional camera and high-quality binoculars available throughout your stay. Afterwards, enjoy a meal where the team pays as much attention to the flavour of the dishes as to your personal contentment.
