Welcome to Tembo Plains Camp, part of the Great Plains Reserve Collection and a proud member of Relais & Châteaux Gold.
📍 Nestled in a private concession within the Sapi Reserve, just east of Mana Pools National Park, Tembo Plains rests along the mighty Zambezi River, where elephants and other wildlife gather daily.
"Tembo" means Elephant in Swahili - a fitting name for this camp that honours one of Africa's most iconic animals. As Dereck Joubert explains, Tembo Plains reflects more than just a place; it embodies our deep and unique relationship with elephants, drawing on their pace, presence, and spirit.
Join us live to witness elephants, lions, leopards, buffalo, and countless bird species in this rich wilderness.
