Letaba Rest Camp falls under the shady gaze of the tall Sycamore Fig, Natal Mahogany, Apple Leaf, and Sausage Trees that surround the banks of the sweeping Letaba River. It owes much of its character to the arresting setting of the riverine oasis in which it is set. Situated centrally, at the junction of the three main roads of the Kruger Park, the camp is a prime location from which to explore the park. Aloe and Impala Lilly attract a range of indigenous birds and fleck the campgrounds with colour. The abundance of greenery at the camp means it does anything but live up to the meaning of its name - the "river of sand", which is an excellent location for game viewing.

What our guests have said about this accommodation

Auriol Langen
After an absence of 20 years, Letaba Camp is still as wonderful as ever. So calm and peaceful with all the wonderful huge trees, and welcoming little bushbucks, squirrels and vervets. The beds/mattresses have been upgraded (5*). It is still beautifully kept. For me the one slight blur is Mugg and Bean - they are excellent for breakfast, but I miss the more traditional South African dinner menu.
Elvene C
Amazing
tracy tillett
Letaba rest camp is great value for money. The camp is neat and clean, but the whole place could do with a revamp. Still looks the same as it did 30 years ago. The museum and the restaurant are lovely
Elizabeth Caselton
Best of the main camps
Frederick COOK
Our cottage was spacious and comfortable. The maid service was very good. The microwave unit worked but we never found out how to operate it easily and never managed to operate the oven, some instructions are needed.
PETER MCGINLEY
First time staying at Letaba and it was wonderful.Situated overlooking a bend in the Letaba River the view is amazing.On arrival we had lunch at the M&B there which was a very nice experience (like all M&Bs;) - more memorable because there were elephants grazing in the mostly dry river bed.The camp is very well run and check in was fast and efficient. The accommodation was very nice and clean with an amazing view over the river bed. From here you could see all sorts of game from elephant to hyena coming and going. There are bushbuck living inside the camp which is nice to wake up to.There is also a very interesting Elephant Museum in the park.Overall: Letaba should be on everyone's itinerary.
Jana Niemann
'n Aangename ervaring. Geriewe en staanplekke skoon en gerieflik. Dit was net teleurstellend dat daar nie plek vir nog 'n nag was nie, terwyl daar duidelik nog plak was.
Malcolm Orchard
We were welcomed warmly at Phalaborwa gate and were processed in less than 10 minutes. At Letaba rest camp the experience was the same. The camp site was just what we wanted and fulfilled all of our requirements. The whole holiday was most enjoyable for all of us we will go again when we can.
GERHARD BOSHOFF
very good I will return in 2016.

Frieder Du Toit

Brilliant Mnisi
It was a fantastic stay.
Mark Lockwood
Bungalow was a little cramped but adequate for our needs. Letaba Camp made up for the extreme heat by being one of the leafiest camps with ample shade.
Nicky Chapman
Very clean, shop staff extremely friendly, one of the better camps I have stayed at. The duty manager also did his rounds to find out if we were happy. This camp offers so much for the children.
Carolyne Staniland

Manda Rabie

Nic Grobbelaar

Joany Jansen van Rensburg
As always Letaba was a real haven. The staff throughout the park were very friendly, helpful and professional.Thank you. I took my grandson of 3yrs 8mths to the park for the first time in his life. It was only the two of us and I truly believe that this is an experience he will remember for ever.

We loved our stay at Letaba. The rondavel bungalow was comfortable and well-equipped. The two-bedroomed cottage that our guests stayed in was to be recommended, they loved it - an excellent view, spacious and comfortable rooms. Perfect for a full week's holiday!
Peter Best
Clean and well maintained.
Pat Redman
Very good campsites, but many do not have good shade, so suggest early check in to secure good sites. Ablutions excellent.

Gerhardus Jacobus Rudolph Landsberg
It was a life time experience.

Water The campsites This is a very nice camp.
Johan van Rensburg
The service throughout was excellent and very friendly.
STEVE THOMAS
I travel through Kruger twice a year and this was my first stay in Letaba. We entered Kruger through the Giryondu gate and managed to get a full days searching for a animals done. The accommodation and park experience never disappoint and I'll be back in October when I bring another team from the uk to work on our projects in Mozambique.
Priscilla Hofmeyr
We enjoyed our stay at Letaba very much. The camp is well run, the restaurant good and the game viewing was great. It is also one of the prettier camps in the Kruger being on the Letaba River.
Priscilla Hofmeyr
We spent 4 nights at Letaba rest camp in Kruger Park and loved it. The camp is very well run and the facilities are good. It is beautifully situated above the Letaba River which enables one to see game and wonderful birds without leaving the camp. The restaurant was good too.
Michael Schwartz
Unit 101, excellent & good value for money. The only problem was that there was no hot water in one of the en suite showers.
Grobler Leon
Everything was very neat and clean. Staff very friendly and helpfull and professional. First time stayover in the Kruger. NOT the last time.
Heidi Diedericks
Fantastic holiday - all went very well. Will definitely do it again - very soon.
Hannatjie Doorduin
Firstly thanks for all your trouble with a perfect booking. Letaba was a wonderful experience.
Andre Zoutendyk
Will be back again. That says it all!!!!
Hester De Bruyn
5 Star ACCOMMODATION excellent meals served at M & B with friendly Staff Cottage well equipped and clean. Best views to the River. QUIET surrounded by trees and plenty of feathered friends. Evening braai's with the sound of Lions and Hyenas . From our cottage we spotted Elephant, Hippo, Crocodiles, Kudu, Lions, Baboons , Waterbuck, (Bushbuck roaming among us) Giraffe, African Fish Eagle. Highlight was a drive towards Satara and spotting a Leopard with cubs and Rhino. Well done to the Management and Staff for sustaining and maintaining the KNPark 5 STAR!!!
Hester De bruyn
5 Star accommodation, quiet, best views of Olifants River, where we could spot Lions, Hippos, Elephants, Crocodiles, Kudus, Buffalo's,Waterbuck, Fish Eagles and plenty of birds. If you sit at the river with patience long enough you will spot most K N P Game. Delicious meals at Mugg and Bean with exellent views of the river! Highlight was driving towards Satara and seeing couple of Rhinos and most exciting was seeing a Leopard with her cubs. We are capable of having breaks to any part of the world, however, the Kruger National Park, is still the number one destination for all our family. Well done to the Management and Staff for their endeavours to keep the KNPark 5 Star!!!
Coenraad De Bod
Very Happy to see that the park in itself is well maintained. Good child hood memories of the Kruger Park all came back on our visit. We love the Krugerpark.Booking system is very good and was very easy to make the booking.Not to Happy about Mugg & Bean Restaurants at most camps. Looks beautiful but takes a bit away the authenticity of the Kruger Park - in the middle of the bush, seeing a M&B feels almost feels like you at the Zoo or Melville or so.We miss the famous buffalo pie & gravy which was always a hit.Never the less, we will return to the park soon.Well done!!
anna-marie
It is always nice to stay at Letaba camp - the changes made to the tents are great.
Kobus van Eeden
We were happy with the clean safari tent and the ablution block / bathrooms. The camp overall was also clean and in good condition
Fritz Peens
Very good and enjoyed very much - would like totry the equipped tent
lindy solomon
Well once again KP didn't disappoint, as usual the camp staff were friendly as ever, clean and neat at all times. We have stayed at Shingwezi,Letaba,Punda our next visit will be to Satara or even maybe back to Letaba as it is nice and central. There is nothing bad to say at all our experiences we have are always good from the time we get there to the time we leave, just wish we could have stayed longer. We had family with us from Dubai and they have never been to the Park and were really amazed at the park. Thanks again and cant wait to be back.
ATHENA
Lovely camp site, clean ablutions, shop fully stocked & Restuarant with a stunning view over Letaba river.
Elmarie Lubbe
Thank you for an excellent visit to the Kruger Park and Letaba camp is one of the best campsites.

Johan de Haan
Very nice to stay
Russ Stroud
Not bad accommodation, bit small and not much workspace, extra towels were provided efficiently but we also needed an extra chair. My kids complained of too many thorns, but that's the bush! Excellent swimming pool and the accommodation was very well serviced
Diane Robertson
Most enjoyable!
MARIIUS PIETERSEN
This was the best camp we thought. Everyone was very friendly and was just amazing experience

KEVIN BERGH

Peter Smal
Good friendly service. Thanks.
Ingo Plucinski
Waren zu dritt 2 Tage dort - und haben beim sunrise drive Löwen gesehen = super Erlebnis. Olifants war ein wenig besser. Das Elefantenmuseum ist unbedingt einen Besuch wert - kostenlos aber Spenden sind willkommen.
Hilda De La Rose
The camp was amazing and we had a wonderful stay. The safari was minimal but just what we needed. I want to stay in this camp again.
Stella Petersen
/We enjoyed a comfortable night at Letaba and all facilities were adequate although not really luxurious. We loved seeing the antelope around the camp and found the economy of the restaurant very agreeable.
AC de Klerk
Good - see you next year.
Noeline Bonner

Magane SIDNEY

mashudu
I had a good stay and we enjoyed ourselves with my family. We will be visiting Kruger camps soon.
Charmaine
Bungalow was lovely, clean and in a quiet area at Letaba Restcamp. With Mugg and Bean restaurants now in all the camps has been absolutely devine, lovely to sit in the restaurant overlooking the beautiful view of the rivers, especially after a long game drive- a huge improvement. You do South Africa proud, thank you.
Ettienne
Basic but neat, very helpful staff at reception.
Annelene Joubert
We really had an awesome time in the Kruger National Park. We were lucky to see the a lot of animals including the big five. The tuck shop's staff were helpful and friendly at all the camps. The restrooms at all the camps were also neat and clean. The stay at Letaba camp was also very nice. Room service was great - the only thing we really would have appreciated was for the room service to wash the dishes and put it back in the cupboards - they only washed it and then left it on the dry rack. We also completed the "quick fix" note indicating that the stove is tripping the electricity. The note was taken by room service but no one attended to the complaint - so we could only use one stove plate during our stay. Nevertheless - we enjoyed our stay and will visit the Park again.
Sello Setagane
It was the 1st night my son and I were sleeping over in kruger park. We (my family, friends and I) usually do a day visit, and since our other home is in phalaborwa, 15 minutes drive to phalaborwa gate. From now on I want to sleep over since it was such a memorable experience. My room was clean with all the necessary utensils. My son enjoyed the breakfast at the Mug&Bean; restaurant and lunch at Debonairs pizza.
MICHAEL ALTMANN
Locks for outside cupboards would be better.(monkeys)
Clynton
Very Peaceful and Good facility Maintenance
LYN DELISSEN
We had a wonderful time. the service and restaurant was good. the bungalow, while really nice could do with a bit of fixing and better cleaning. the fridge has not been cleaned out in a while and the crockery etc not that clean. the curtains were coming off the rails.

Safari.com are the best for your African Safari holiday!
My experience with booking my Southern Africa tour with Safari.com was amazing. The Safari Consultant I was working with (special shout out to Keagan Davids) was the most helpful, responsive, polite and awesome person to work with. I originally tried to book a safari holiday with a local agent in Australia and was getting nowhere fast. I decided to do some leg work myself and put a request in for some advice on safaribooking.com. It was the best thing I could have done! I only wished I had planned my first half of the holiday with Safari.com given the ease and expertise they have provided. I highly recommend their service - you will not be disappointed!

Simply The Best
We are now home from our trip and am writing to thank you for organising such an amazing adventure. We cannot fault anything about the trip from start to finish. Buffalo Camp was fantastic - the accommodation, the food and the hospitality too but most of all our game drive guys who were awesome. We saw the ‘big 5” and more. Slon and Forest went above and beyond to find the animals we wanted to see. Then we transferred to Victoria Falls River Lodge and became part of a family. I can hardly find the words to describe it. From sitting in our plunge pool watching a crocodile swimming up the Zambezi to our helicopter ride over Victoria Falls and everything in between. What a beautiful place run by beautiful people. We were invited back by both Buffalo Camp and Victoria Falls River Lodge and hopefully we can do that in the not too distant future and if it becomes possible we will not hesitate to use Safari.com again. We truly recommend your services. Once again, thank you for organising the best holiday we have ever had and one we shall treasure forever. Best wishes.

Pascal should be your Go-to consultant - 5 stars
Pascal was wonderful to work with. We wanted to stay in Sabi Sands during peak season and were having a lot of trouble finding a great lodge to stay in. Pascal was able to find us a lodge that met our needs, call the lodge to ensure they had the rooms we wanted, book flights, transfers, etc. and was very attentive and easy to talk to. He made sure to get back to us quickly and when he said he would. He was always available and I would recommend using him and safari.com to anyone looking into a safari in the future.

Superb short Safari
We were referred to Safari.com through a UK safari holiday company. We were dubious at first about dealing with a company in South Africa but we found Safari.com and in particular Mr Keagan Davids, very easy to comunicate with. He was very communicative and made all the necessary arrangements. Unfortunately, the safari lodge we'd booked got flooded out so Keagan found an alternative lodge Called Kapama River Lodge. It was great. Very nice accommodation. Great efficient and friendly staff etc. We were not disappointed. All of the arrangements went like clockwork so we'd highly recommend Safari.com

Booking for Addo Elephant Park…
I made a booking for Addo Elephant Park through Safari.com. The instructions were clearly conveyed to me regarding the payment of a deposit to secure the booking. The service received from the lady I dealt with was very professional. For example, upon requesting a change in accommodation type, the request was promptly attended to and I was informed accordingly which I noticed was outside office hours. Proof of secured accommodation was sent promptly and reminder for payment of balance was send well in advance of final date. Finally, once payment was cleared, I received the booking voucher as well as forms to be filled in by all passengers upon entrance as well as the conservation fees to be paid. All in all it was a pleasure to deal with Safari.com and we are looking forward to our stay in ADDO ELEPHANT PARK. Thank you.

Chantal Young is awesome to plan with!!!
Chantal Young was so nice and accommodating. We were between safari lodges and she really sold us on Dulini with her chill and approachable attitude. She gave us more than enough information while letting us feel like the decision was ours and was flexible to providing multiple options. Can't reccommend her enough!

Spending 40 years in the travel…
Spending 40 years in the travel industry and taking several Safari to Kenya, my wife and I reached out to Dolan at Safari.com to help plan our S. African Safari to Kruger. Dolan handled all aspects of the planning including transfers to and from airport, plane reservations and lodging at the 5-star Leopard Hills lodge. With just a couple of emails he made the planning seamless. every aspect was on-time, and all responses were very timely. We can't wait to go back and would highly recommend Dolan at Safari.com

Unorgettable trip in South Africa
We have spent 12 days as a family in South Africa with my 3 children and my wife who is in a wheelchair. Thanks to Pascal, Safari.com consultant, we were able to spend an unforgettable moment with a great program while being well accompanied despite our constraints. I recommand particularly the "Monwana game lodge" for a safari in Hoedspruit. It's an amazing place with very nice people and a real family atmosphere. Thank you to the entire Safari.com team for this unforgettable trip.

Cape Town miracle
I was in Cape Town, South Africa recently for an athletic competition and had allowed myself a week of personal time to relax and properly conclude the trip, but had not bothered to plan a safari to occupy the time. I was skeptical of the cost and whether I would enjoy the experience, however a couple days into that final week it occurred to me, in a bit of a panic attack, what a waste it would be not to take advantage of this opportunity. I hopped online and started looking at flights to Johannesburg (almost all the safaris in SA start there with an early morning pick up), but it was basically impossible to get a flight early enough and/or to coordinate with the multiple safaris operating in or just outside of Kruger. With no apparent options available to turn my remaining 4 1/2 days into even a 3 day safari I stumbled on the most obvious website one could imagine, Safari.com. I'd completely given up negotiating all the variables on my own but here was a safari travel agent that might be able to help me .. and they were based right out of Cape Town, literally a stones throw from my lodgings. Serendipity, or so i hoped. I immediately sent out an email and crossed my fingers .. for roughly an hour and a half, at which point Dolan from Safari.com responded to me requesting I give him a call so that we could expedite potential arrangements. My in country phone plan wasn't able to make calls, but we arranged for him to call me and not 3 hours after being in the grip of despair Dolan got through to me and far from notifying me of how absurd it was to hold out hope for a literally, last minute safari adventure with barely 4 days available to me, he had already worked out all the details I'd sent and created a preliminary safari trip that would bypass Johannesburg airport for a flight the next morning to a closer, much, much smaller airport where I would be picked up taken, not to a 3 day safari, but a full 4 day safari, then back to the tiny, tiny airport for a return flight to Cape Town with 2 hours to spare for my return leg all the way home. It almost feels like an afterthought, after the minor miracle Dolan was able to conjure up, but the safari itself at Simbavati Lodge was just an absolutely stunning experience. The single "tent" he booked me was as luxurious as any 4 star hotel I've stayed in, the game drives, one every morning, one every evening were more amazing than I could have ever imagined, and the food, 3 meals a day with snacks and an open bar was sublime. I could go on about the wonderful staff, or the wonderful other safari goers you can meet and grab a drink with, or the different animals walking through the open lodge facilities daily .. but I've gone on long enough. I'll simply conclude by saying .. safari, absolutely, yes, do it, it is amazing. And when you do decide, Safari.com will do you right and if you have the pleasure of working with Dolan, do give him my thanks .. the entire experience was the best part of my trip :)

A great company
What to say! We planned a South African Safari for 2020 with Safari.com. We researched companies and took a chance on one we had never heard of before. Henry Franklin was our agent, we gave him our budget and wish list. He came up with a wonderful looking trip and we made our choices! Then came Covid, preventing us from going. We couldn’t have been in better hands. Henry rebooked everything for the next year. He kept us updated on how things looked there. When in 2021, we decided it still looked iffy, he rebooked us a second time for 2022. We couldn’t have been happier with the service we had in a rough time for all. We had a wonderful experience on our trip when we finally got to go!! Henry had everything so well organized and gave us a detailed list of what transfer companies would be meeting us and when. When Airlink bumped us and put us on standby returning from Victoria Falls, we called the concierge number Henry had given us and Catherine worked hard on this and got us back on our flight. The Safari.com team had our back and we have no regrets. Would definitely use them again. Our lodging was wonderful, saw the big 5 within first 2 drives. Henry definitely knew the territory and did a great job matching what we wanted with where he suggested we go and stay. Thanks Safari.com, Henry and Catherine!

Superior service, knowledgeable, transparent, amazing can-do attitude
These guys get 10/10. I have booked with them a few times. To Kruger National Park, including both public and private(concession) camps, flights and car hire. Their senior agent, Dolan is exceptional. Nothing is too much trouble. Attention to detail, transparency, and 'can-do' attitude are out of the ordinary. I recently came into contact with Tanya at safari.com as well. It looks like all their agents are similarly well trained. Thank you. I cannot recommend Dolan and his team highly enough.

I've recently interacted with Dolan and hands down he's been the best travel agent that I've every worked with. He was a wealth of experience and knowledge which shows volumes. He took into consideration my budget and my individual needs to tailor make a package with recommendations for my preference,he knows Kruger and Greater Kruger like the back of his hands and I will wholeheartedly recommended his services. He is truly an asset to his institution.

Nelia Nyamhanza
Nelia Nyamhanza, was extremely helpful, knowledgeable and friendly in designing our trip every step of the way. She listened to our request of places we wanted to visit and advised us on what best to do. This made the whole experience wonderful. Every guide from Ilios was eager to share their culture with us and are kind people, as well as, the guide/driver from Elephant Camp, Victoria Falls. We will recommend others to you so that they can be part of your amazing country.

Excellent service by the agent Jayson Scheffers (Africa Safari Expert). We had little idea of the place and things to do. He made it at all soo easy and planned it so well that it all went smooth. We had a baby with us so we were not sure about the things but he advised us well. All the hotels, pickups etc were well informed about our situation and we did not face any issues. He was always there to answer any questions 24/7. Very personalized service. Highly recommended.
