Letaba Rest Camp

Letaba Rest Camp sits along the Letaba River and offers different types of lodging surrounded by native plants and wildlife. The site includes bungalows, guest houses, and camping areas with varying levels of comfort.

The camp was established in the 1950s as one of the first tourist facilities in Kruger National Park. It was part of the early development of the park as an international destination.

The camp's name comes from the Tsonga language, linking the river to traditional communities of the Limpopo region. This connection to local heritage remains visible in how the space is laid out and used today.

The grounds are walkable and have clear pathways between lodging areas and central facilities. Visitors should be prepared for hot weather or rain during certain seasons.

The Elephant Hall displays a collection of tusks and provides detailed information about these animals in the region. This exhibit shows the importance of elephants in the local ecosystem.
