The suites at Tembo combine the look of a luxury chalet with that of an explorer's tent. Underneath a billowing canvas roof, you'll find an enormous bed protected from mosquitos by sheer curtains, intricate, tassled rugs and, curved stone walls that create a private bathroom. Enjoy soaking in the clawfoot bathtub or take in the view from your open-air shower. Outside, there is a wrap-around deck to catch those glorious panoramas and a plunge pool. The Tembo Suites have two bedrooms, a shared lounge, and a dining area.
Tembo Plains Camp is owned by Great Plains which is dedicated to creating lasting, sustainable conservation solutions for the world's iconic wildlife and wilderness areas. Through their model of compassionate protection and intelligent management, funded by low-impact tourism, they integrate communities, governments, and the private sector. Embracing the concept of 'Conservation Tourism', they prioritise environmentally sound practices while ensuring benefits directly support conservation efforts without a negative impact on the land or wildlife. A contribution of $95 per guest, which is included in the nightly rate, goes towards the above goals.
