Platinum price level

For those travelers seeking a luxury Zimbabwe safari, Tembo Plains Camp, welcomes you. Tembo Plains Camp is tucked away into a thick riverine forest on the edge of the Zambezi River, in the private 128,000-hectare Sapi Private Reserve, east of Zimbabwe’s Mana Pools National Park. “Tembo” means Elephant. Painted dogs (wild dogs), lions and leopards are common around Tembo Plains, whilst buffalo are regularly seen up and down, and sometimes swimming the Zambezi River itself, as are elephants. The camp honors these animals found on these Zimbabwean plains.

Tembo Plains Camp has four double or twin bed configuration suites. Each has its own private indoor lounge area, outdoor swimming pool and outdoor dining area. Each suite comes complete with a professional camera and lenses. High-quality binoculars are also available for guests to use during their stay. In addition to these suites, Tembo Plains has a beautiful 2-bedroomed suite comprised of two suites flanking a shared lounge, dining area and pool. The Tembo Plains Suite is ideal for two couples or families traveling together and those guests looking for the ultimate private safari.

Enjoy the privacy of a safari, so rare today, in a wildlife-rich sanctuary along the Zambezi River. Here you don’t have to worry about anything else except how best to soak up every moment. Your safari at Tembo Plains Camp includes everything, day and night wildlife-viewing drives, boating, canoeing or guided walks and tracking, drinks. And, of course, their Relais & Châteaux level cuisine and service.
