Location: Tembe Elephant Park, covering 300 square km, is situated in northern KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa.

Tembe was established in 1983 to protect elephants that used to migrate between South Africa and southern Mozambique. These elephants were traumatised by poaching during the civil war in Mozambique so the park was only opened to the public in 1991. The park is now home to more than 200 elephants which are reputed to be the largest in the world.
