Information

Situated in an area that was once the ancient ‘Ivory Route’, linking Mozambique and Zululand, Tembe Elephant Park is renowned for having the largest elephants in Africa – and the planet! The park’s location is very remote, lying deep in the sand forests and wetlands in northern Tongaland. It borders between KwaZulu-Natal and Mozambique. Along with viewing these gentle giants, you can also spot the rest of the “Big Five” : lions, leopards, black and white rhinos and buffalo. There are also tiny Suni antelope, and a spectacular variety of animals including over 340 bird species. The park consists mainly of closed woodland, but offers a great diversity of vegetation, lying within a transition area between tropical and sub-tropical climates. The camera is situated on the hide at one of the waterholes in the area.

How big is Tembe Elephant Park?

The park is a 300 square kilometer reserve between Zululand and Mozambique. To preserve the pristine wilderness, Tembe park management employs a minimum-impact policy: non-intrusive visitor facilities; sand roads; sympathetic environmental management.

When was Tembe Elephant Park created?

Tembe Elephant Park was established in 1983 to protect the 'Great Tuskers,’ the last remaining herd of free-range elephants in South Africa. During the civil war in Mozambique, these elephants were traumatized by poaching, resulting in a closure of the park until 1991.

What is a “tusker”?

A tusker is a male elephant with tusks weighing over 100 pounds.

Who is the largest tusker on record?

Isilo - the Zulu word for king - was known as the biggest “tusker” in Southern Africa. Isilo died of natural causes in 2014, and his death attracted international media attention when his tusks, considered a National Heritage artifact, went missing.

How big were Isilo’s tusks?

Isilo's tusks were estimated to be more than 3 meters (9 feet) long. The right tusk weighed about 65 kg (143 pounds) and the left about 60 kg (132 pounds).
