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!

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.

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.

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!

Of all the larger camps this one is the cleanest and best maintained. The restaurant at the Letaba River lookout is a nice place to spend time as the sun sets

Stayed in the chalets overlooking the river, not the tiny huts or camp area.
Simple, down-to-earth experience. Great for kids and time with friends. Recommend!

Letaba Rest Camp is for us the best camp in the Kruger Park. Sightings of Animals, Birds, Reptiles and Insects is abundant. The camp is well run and amenities work. Game drive are fun and informative, a must visit.

My son in law had a puncture along the road and we have changed the tyre. As soon as we entered the camp, one of the personnel saw the sparewheel and offered to repair the punctured one. Very nice if them

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.

Beautiful camp site with basic yet lovely chalets, there is a little shop and an amazing restaurant overlooking the river definitely worth a visit

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?

Clean and tidy rest camp. Hut style was comfortable, with a super view over looking the river. Very clean ablution block.

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.

Always wonderful to visit the Elephant museum that is well kept and clean. Beautiful lookout from the restaurant area.
