Day 17: From Mkhuze Game Reserve to Tembe Elephant Park

In the morning we left Mkhuze.





Where are the Elephants? We only had seen one bull and got a glimps of a breeding herd crossing the road


But we are on the way to Tembe

Looks like an interesting park! It seems you stayed for two nights - would you say
that'll be enough if one goes there or would the park offer enough to stay longer as well?

[Toko]

You can stay longer, two nights is not enough to explore all the roads and hides. If it is not the driest dry season, it's good to spend some time at the hides overlooking the seasonal pans. The swimming pool is a good place for birding, too! You can do a walk, as well -O But it's not a big five watching destination!

Don't go unless you love Nyala -O

A major plus is: Camp staff does the dish washing

[Mel]

KTP isn't a B5 destination either and we love it to bits.
Plus, they seem to have all the cats minus lions; but they have wild dogs!

And coincidentially - I love nyalas.

You have to pay the conservation fee (not covered with a wild card)

There a cheetah, but I have never seen one

The access road from Mkuze village to the game reserve is not tarred and always in bad condition

There is no shop, no restaurant but a Take away
