• Ideal Game Location - Letaba means 'river of sand', and the sandy riverbed makes for excellent game viewing, particularly elephant, which abound in the area.

• Bird Watchers' Paradise - ample opportunity for bird watchers as Letaba has a rich bird population, and is particularly good for viewing owls.

• Activities - enjoy an afternoon/morning walk, bush braai, and dawn/night/sunset drive.

Letaba Rest Camp is situated on a sweeping bend of the Letaba River, midway between the southern and northern boundaries of the Kruger National Park in South Africa.

The character of Letaba Camp depends heavily on the tall shady trees (Sycamore Fig, Natal Mahogany, Sausage Tree and Apple Leaf), expansive lawns and indigenous gardens, where tame Bushbuck wander. Visit in winter and you will find the gardens a riot of colour, with several species of Aloe and the Impala lily in full bloom.

The Aloes attract a variety of birds, like the White Bellied and Marico Sunbird, Crested Barbet, Blackheaded Oriole and Black Eyed Bulbul. Letaba Camp offers excellent bird watching opportunities all year round. Pearlspotted, Barred and Scops owl can be spotted in camp, while the Giant Eagle Owl is regularly recorded along the river. Green Pigeon and Brown Headed Parrot are to be found high in the tree canopies.

• Air-Conditioning
• Gardens
• Self-Catering

Letaba has self-catering facilities.

The 5th largest rest camp in the park, Letaba Camp has a relaxed air. The units are comfortably spread out in spacious semi-circles facing the wooded lawns and the river beyond.

At Letaba Camp you can choose between a guest house, cottage, bungalow, hut or a furnished safari tent, as well as camping and caravan sites. All units are serviced daily and supplied with bedding, towels and soap.

Bungalows: The bungalows are air-conditioned and most have 3 beds, an en-suite shower and a toilet. Self-catering facilities vary somewhat. All the units have a fridge, but only some are equipped with both a 2-plate stove and a sink (communal cooking facilities are provided). No cooking utensils, crockery or cutlery are supplied. These huts are available for the budget-conscious, and visitors in these units make use of the communal kitchen and ablution facilities.

Cottages: The 6-bedded cottages offer additional features, like French doors and a fully equipped open-plan kitchen. Each of the bedrooms has air-conditioning, and there are 2 bathrooms. All of the cottages can be easily accessed by people with mobility difficulties.

Guest Houses: For guests that insist on luxury accommodation, the comfortable, self-contained Fish Eagle and Melville guest houses accommodating 8 and 9 persons respectively, offer exquisite riverside views. Here guests have a bird hide for their own private use.

Camp Sites: Letaba Rest Camp had been overhauled in recent years, and one of the most noticeable changes has been the upgrading of the camping site with its expansive lawns, shady trees and spotlessly clean ablution blocks. Some visitors set up camp right against the fence, hoping for a close view of the game outside, such as the Spotted Hyena that readily patrol the boundary at night.

Furnished Tents: The 2 or 4-bedded furnished tents share the splendid camping area and offer good value. They are erected on cement floors and shaded by nets. Each is equipped with a cupboard, fan, table, chairs, fridge and electric light. Communal ablution facilities are available.

Facilities: information at reception, public telephones, post box; ATM, basic first aid assistance, restaurant; cafeteria; curio shop, emergency road service, petrol station, laundromat, picnic facilities.
