Tembe is known and appreciated by only a select few visitors. Restricted access to the park means that few people have the opportunity to experience the majesty of Tembe's elephant population of 130 and the park's profuse diversity of flora and fauna. The park protects the only remaining indigenous elephant herd in KwaZulu-Natal - a herd that was the last free-ranging in South Africa and used to move seasonally between Mozambique and Maputaland. It's 300 square kilometres, comprise a mosaic of unique and forest, woodland, grassland and swampland. Through re-introduction, Tembe now has a healthy population of mammal species historically known to have occurred here, including black and white rhino, as well as the rare and elusive suni antelope. Mahlasela hide is a particular favourite. It offers a clear view over one of the waterholes frequented by the Tembe elephants.

Tembe is home to an array of wildlife including 130 elephant, 65 rhino, buffalo, leopard, serval, hippo, eland, zebra, giraffe, hyaena, jackal, wildebeest, nyala, kudu, water buck, reed buck, red duiker, warthog and other small mammals. Lion from Pilanesberg and Madikwe have recently been re-introduced. Birding at Tembe is on a par with some of South Africa's prime birding spots. More that 340 species of birds have been listed, including the rare Rudd's Apalis, Rufousbellied Heron, Natal Nightjar and Woodward's Batis.

Tembe Safari Camp is privately managed and offers guided tours in luxury, air-conditioned or open safari vehicles.
