This is a fund raiser as far as Tembe is concerned! ‘Rooms’ are brick under tile rooms with 2 inter leading rooms (pass through the first room to get to second room) with 3 beds – 4 beds can be arranged but it is a bit squashed. ONLY off road trailers are allowed. NO off road caravans! Malaria area Big five reserve and access to the Northern parts of park is normally allowed though NOT guaranteed. (Northern part is off limits to normal visitors)

If 10 vehicles or 20 people have already registered, you may add yourself to the Waiting List! No deposit is required. If a space becomes available, you will be notified and required to pay the deposit, or if it's within the 6 weeks before, then the full amount.

TWO WAY RADIOS (required, VHF only):

Communication between participating vehicles on any 4×4 excursion is important for many reasons. It benefits the safety of drivers, passengers and vehicles while on a 4×4 trail, where drivers can communicate with one another regarding their location and situation, not to mention the interesting information that is shared with participants. The fun part is the many interesting stories that are shared among participants. We use VHF radios only and operate on ORRA Channels 1 - 6
