Description

Experience the beauty and diversity of a South African National Park (SANPark) camp.
The idyllic Letaba main rest camp is situated on a sweeping bend of the Letaba River, midway between the southern and northern boundaries of the world-renowned Kruger National Park, South Africa. The name means “river of sand”, and the sandy riverbed is an excellent location for game viewing, particularly elephant, which thrive in the area. Letaba is a green oasis in the surrounding mopane veld, and remains a firm favorite with visitors. At night the stars overlook a symphony of sounds. Owls, night jars, frogs, fruit bats, crickets and cicadas all vie to be heard, until the lion roars, then all are silent.
There are so many creatures to see and sightings of rare species can be the highlight of your trip! Keep up to date with the movements of the wildlife in the Kruger National Park by consulting the sightings map at reception, it is updated daily!
Visit the elephant hall and enrich your knowledge on the elephant’s social structure distribution and ecology, morphology and physiology, origin and evolution as well as their relationship with humans. There are 3-D displays giving an exciting visual in-depth background to elephants. The highlight of the exhibition is the impressive ivory collection, which includes the tusks of the legendary “magnificent seven”. The hall also serves as a general ecological information centre.
