Tembe Elephant Reserve Reviews
More info about Tembe Elephant Reserve

They are also the last of the free-roaming herds that once trekked all the way to Mozambique. This route is no longer open and the elephants are now restricted to a 30000ha wilderness area.

Here, the thick sand forests and well-watered grassland are the ideal environment for elephants.
