Letaba Rest Camp reviews
42Camp is very well maintained.fantastic Elephant museum.however the Restaurant Tindlovu very disappointing, staff extremely reluctant to make a effort.no change if paying cash, no welcome.avoid if possible.
Still the best campsites in Kruger. Ablutions always clean with hot water, functioning laundrettes, camp kitchens with hotplates, hydroboils and microwave ovens. Most campsites under Mopani trees with abundant bird activity.
Letaba Rest Camp is situated along the Letaba River, this camp offers a tranquil setting. It's known for its elephant sightings, and the Elephant Museum within the camp is a must-visit. Some amazing size tusks of the older elephants that have lived in the Kruger Park.
One of my old time favourite camps in the park. Lovely rooms; very comfortable. We had a room with a communal bathroom which was very clean, I was impressed! The view from the camp is beautiful over the letaba river, and there is a walking path along the fence which is good fun:) Lots of birds to be seen here- just watch out for the monkeys!
The tent camp needs a good up grade and also the bathrooms. The restaurant food were good and the service. Hope the San Parks make work of it.
Very disappointed that the shop has not been rebuilt after burning down last year.
It is an eyesore which dominates the camp.
However, Letaba is still a lovely camp and the views over the river are still amazing.
It is significant that I can comment on all the venues we visited on our trip to Kruger except for Oliphant camp, which quite frankly is an embarrassment to S Africa, it is so tired and lacking in maintenance and smelling of Bat urine, it is in short a disgrace
Beautiful camp site with basic yet lovely chalets, there is a little shop and an amazing restaurant overlooking the river definitely worth a visit
Not well maintained, messy and dirty lazy and unattentive staff, very disappointing compared to the rest of the Kruger Park
One of my favourite camps in the park. However although the park in general is very dry. The upkeep of the Letaba camp in general seems to be strained. The walkway, swimming pool, grass area and campsites etc is in a bad shape. Museum still good. When will the gutted shop etc be cleared or is an insurance claim still pending?
One of the nicest places to stay in the Kruger. Genuinely underrated. The sound of elephants monching on plants and stuff by the fence and Hyena's howling and Hippos laughing is unforgettable.
Clean and tidy rest camp. Hut style was comfortable, with a super view over looking the river. Very clean ablution block.
Letaba has always been our camp of choice. We have been going there for many many years. It breaks my heart to see how backwards the place is going
Our bungalow was in a beautiful setting on a half circle facing the river. It had no kitchen zink, but had a microwave, toaster, kettle, fridge and utensils. The cleaning lady washed the dishes for us when she cleaned our room, so we never had to visit the communal kitchen. The shop is a temporary structure with only the most basic of items, but the camp is well run and the staff are amazing. Beds are comfortable and bathroom adequate. Lots of hot water, but a bathroom off a bedroom should have a door that can close from outside as well as inside. This is the second camp where the bathroom door has an indicator lock that only closes from inside.
Beautiful campsite with clean ablutions and kitchen. Enjoying a drink under the verandah of the restaurant while you watch the animals come and drink water at the river. Plentiful game to photograph
Epic experience. Most definitely worth the long drive from eastern cape. I love the bushveld and the camp itself was awesome, clean and busy with night life.
We love this place! We grew up visiting the hall, now our sons may experiance this amazing history and display, Thank you
Always wonderful to visit the Elephant museum that is well kept and clean. Beautiful lookout from the restaurant area.
Same, familiar place where one learns or remembers what's important in life. Nothing fancy, all blthe basic necessities needed for a Bush adventure.
A nice touch for the whole Kruger experience. We learned alot from this mini museum and saw all different size of tusks. We found it funny as its not located in the Olifants Rest Camp LOL. A very friendly volunteer ranger explained us the nice stories about whats all in the museum. Thank you to the friendly ranger!
