"When we were designing the Tembo Plains Camp, we wanted to refer to the famous Ruins of the former town of Great Zimbabwe but our love for linen and to explore the surrounding area not lose sight of this," commented Dereck Joubert, CEO of Great Plains. "The result is a unique Combination of linen walls and stone walls. The semi-circular stone walls in each tent separate the bathroom and shower from the bedroom and lounge areas, bringing this architectural reference into the interior design. Outside, this design is made up of Stone walls at the back of the guest room, and this gives the guests a greater sense of privacywhich is often a problem with tents. But since we didn't want to have a completely 'converted' room, the Tent-style fronts one unrestricted view of the Zambeziwhich flows just a few meters in front of the canvas tent side of the guest units," Dereck Joubert continues.
By the way, "tembo" means "elephant" and is a tribute to the animals that are often seen in the Tembo Plains Camp area – alongside wild dogs, buffalo, lions and leopards. Today, the private Sapi Reserve is considered one of the best wildlife destinations in Africa. (Hobby) ornithologists will recognize Tembo Plains as a First-class birdwatching country ideal for photographers and nature lovers. The main activities at Tembo Plains Camp include Day and twilight rides for animal observation, Hiking safaris, Canoeing and Boating on the Zambezi.
Prices: Accommodation and meals with all inclusive services in the guest tent cost from 1,160 USD per person per night and from USD 3,248 per night in the new Tembo Plains family unit.
