Where are we Based
Save the Elephants (STE) is a non-profit organisation with its headquarters based in Kenya.
Save the Elephants – South Africa is based at Tanda Tula Safari Camp in the Timbavati Private Nature Reserve which forms part of the Association of Private Game Reserves (APNR), a consolidated conservation area of 1 800 km2 on the Western border of the Kruger National Park. These reserves became part of a substantially larger protected area in 1993 when the fences separating them from the 20 000 km2 Kruger National Park (KNP) were removed. In addition, the fences between the KNP and the 10 000 km2 Limpopo National Park in Mozambique have also systematically been removed since the formation of the Great Limpopo Transfrontier Park.
In keeping with the expansion of the conservation area, we have expanded our research efforts. At present we are looking at what drives Transboundary Elephant Movements to the North (Zimbabwe), the East (Limpopo National Park in Mocambique) and the West (APNR) of the core conservation areas around the KNP. Once this information has been gathered it will be used for developing operational guidelines by wildlife management policy-makers.
