Live Webcams in Tembe Elephant Park

Tembe Elephant Park, in the far northeast of South Africa where KwaZulu-Natal meets Mozambique, is the place to watch elephants at close quarters, and the live webcams in Tembe Elephant Park have a following to match: waterholes in the sand forest where the herds come in to drink, bathe and settle their arguments, with nyala, buffalo and the occasional lion at the edges. The bulls here carry some of the heaviest ivory in Africa, and the park was created in 1983 partly to protect them. Tembe keeps South African Standard Time, UTC+2, with no daylight saving; the busiest hours at the water are late morning and the last light of the afternoon, which lands mid-morning to early afternoon for Europe and before dawn for America. The dry winter months, May to September, pack the waterhole. Some 300 square kilometres of Maputaland sand forest lie behind them.
