Camera: The photograph was taken with a Canon EOS film
camera and Canon EOS 80-200mm F2.8 lens, using slide film.
Location: Tembe Elephant Park, covering 300 square km, is situated in northern KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa. The park was developed by
the Tembe Tribal Authority and Ezemvelo KZN Wildlife, the conservation body that also runs the adjacent
Ndumo Game Reserve and other wildlife reserves in the province.
Tembe was established in 1983 to protect elephants that used to migrate between South Africa and
southern Mozambique. These elephants were traumatised by poaching during the civil war in Mozambique
so the park was only opened to the public in 1991. The park is now home to more than 200 elephants
which are reputed to be the largest in the world.
