Tembe Masizwane Lodge is a relatively new lodge built adjacent to Tembe Elephant Park.

Accomodation comprises secluded thatched cottages accessed along a boardwalk through the bush in typical sandforest habitat. There is a bar/restaurant area serving cold drinks and delicious food.

Staff are very friendly, curteous and willing to help and there are guides to take you out birding in the lodge sandforest or to adjacent Tembe if required.

Contact details can be found here....

Excellent accomodation in superb surroundings. Hannes, one of the owners, specialises in botany and his sons are a guide and chef at the lodge.

Pray you get one morning of rain as the cinnamon pancakes were to die for.

Hi Lis,

Yes, you can self drive, but need a 4x4 to get around the sand tracks, but not too difficult when we were there in July/August 2011.

I posted some photos on the Tembe thread somewhere, with links to slide shows. I guess you will want me to do a full blown TR now? :D
