Letaba Camp
Letaba is situated on a bend of the Letaba River, midway between the southern and northern boundaries for the Kruger National Park. Characterised by tall, shady trees and indigenous lawns and gardens where resident bushbuck wanders.
Letaba means ‘river of sand’ where the shady riverbed offers excellent game viewing opportunities from the restaurant’s deck overlooking the Letaba River.
