Tembe - Tembe Elephant Park

In northern South Africa, Tembe Elephant Park spans 30,012 hectares in Maputaland, KwaZulu-Natal, and sits beside Ndumo Game Reserve. A Live Cam adds immediacy to that setting, showing the rhythm of a protected area developed by the Tembe Tribal Authority and Ezemvelo KZN Wildlife. The name of the reserve also points to what makes it so distinctive, with elephants closely tied to the identity of this landscape and to its conservation story.

Its position next to Ndumo Game Reserve and its roots in the work of the Tembe Tribal Authority with Ezemvelo KZN Wildlife give the park a very specific place within KwaZulu-Natal. An Online Cam becomes even more meaningful knowing the reserve was established in 1983 to protect elephants that once moved between Maputaland and southern Mozambique, preserving roughly 300 square kilometres in one of South Africa's most important wildlife areas.
