Tembe Elephant Park was established in 1983 to protect the lives and property of the Tembe people from elephants. About 300 km2 in size and bordering on Mozambique to the north, the park has a high density of wildlife, including keystone species such as lions, wild dogs and the critically endangered black rhino. However, it is currently too small to support genetically viable populations of important species without active management intervention.

It is the largest natural freshwater lake in South Africa, covering roughly 60–77 km².

Located in northern KwaZulu-Natal, near the Mozambique border, within the iSimangaliso Wetland Park (a UNESCO World Heritage Site). 

What makes it special
No rivers flow in or out – the lake is fed only by rainfall and underground water, making it a rare self-sustaining ecosystem.
South Africa Tourism
Surrounded by coastal dunes, forests, and untouched beaches, giving it a very remote, wild feel.
SA Towns
Home to:
Over 270+ bird species
Large populations of hippos and crocodiles.

4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms sleep 10 people.

We are also pet friendly.

The Sardine Run is one of the greatest marine spectacles on Earth, often called “the greatest shoal on the planet.” It happens along the east coast of KwaZulu-Natal and the Eastern Cape.

Every year, billions of sardines migrate north along the coast in massive shoals. This attracts a feeding frenzy of marine predators:
Dolphins (often herding sardines into “bait balls”)
Sharks (including bronze whalers and others)
Whales (especially humpbacks)
Seabirds diving from above
