Tembo Plains Camp
Tembo Plains Camp is located in the private 291,000 acre Sapi Reserve to the east of Mana Pools National Park
Tembo Plains Camp is operated by Great Plains as one of their ‘Réserve Collection’ camps and offers an exclusive and upmarket safari experience. The camp is built into the thick riverine forest on the Zambezi River’s edge, with a beautiful outlook overlooking a wide floodplain. The suites, while luxurious, are still canvas, so you don’t completely lose the feeling of being in nature; and hospitality is excellent, balancing efficiency and going the extra mile with a relaxed atmosphere. The Sapi Reserve is a former hunting concession and so wildlife is not as dense as the National Park. Excellent guiding and flexible activities, however, more than compensate.
