Category: Child Friendly

Motivation for award: This 4 star lodge is architecturally designed to emulate the local Thonga building style, and each of the fourteen villas are uniquely positioned to offer guests total privacy and luxurious comfort within a sand forest in Tembe Elephant Park. Culmination of a dream of the local community, private investors and Tembe Royal family to create a natural paradise (in the bush) for visitors to experience this unique reserve and teach children how to appreciate the natural surroundings which exclude technology. Natural materials and timber give a warm organic ambience and invite the outdoors in. All rooms are appointed with quality furnishings and bathrooms come complete with an indoor and private outdoor shower. A comfortable 4 hour’s drive from King Shaka International Airport, Tembe Elephant Park is a Big 5 reserve, renowned as A UNIQUE EXPERIENCE and AN UNFORGETTABLE LOCATION – One of the few remaining wilderness areas in Southern Africa.
