Letaba is our least favourite of the three restcamps we stayed in. Very very hot location and no ceiling fans in rooms ( air con worked sporadically). Rooms were a bit tired. Resturant food ok but took hours to be served.....lost the will to eat by the time it arrived ( they werent even very busy so no real excuse). More

I stayed with my boyfriend and his parents on a tent in letaba camp. I think the tents are really OK. You are on a safari trip in Kruger, so do not expect the best comfort. This is not a luxury lodge and does not pretend to be one. So, for its purposes is OK. You have clean shared restrooms,... More

We stayed at Letaba 4 nights in a very comfortable and clean bungalow. The restaurant is situated in a lovely position overlooking the river. The surrounds are peaceful, you don't feel crowded in this camp. There are many terrific game drives to do from the camp to easily occupy several days. Also the Elephant Hall is very interesting and informative... More

Letaba was our second rest camp stay in Kruger. Similar to our first night, we found the accommodation very basic (which is fine) but also filthy. We had several lizards, spiders, and other insects which we shared out bungalow with. The toilet was broken (wouldn’t) flush, but we were able to fix it. Thankfully, the air conditioner did work well,... More

Stayed our first night in Kruger here. Be sure and allow enough time to drive from Phalaborwa Gate - it was much further than we thought. Rondavel was clean but starting to show signs of excess wear and in need of some TLC. Sheets and towels shabby Had unit on the perimeter and that was nice. Also restaurant and staff... More

We stayed in a Safari Tent within the Letaba Restcamp for two nights and would recommend it to anyone looking for a cheap base to see Kruger. Firstly, it is important to remember that if you are going to Kruger, you are there to see the wildlife and we had quite a few very good sightings extremely close to the... More

We stayed at Letaba Restcamp for 4 nights earlier on this month, within the permanent tents. Letaba is a set in a very beautiful location with stunning views of the river, many birds and bush buck close to the tent, and a very good shop and clean shower facilities. Our accommodation was in one of the permanent tents, and our... More

We were fortunate to have the Fish Eagle House for our group which provided privacy from the rest of the camp. It has it's own game viewing hide providing a super view of the river and game viewing. It has a large outdoor area around the main house, a fire pit, BBQ and the staff at Leteba provided outdoor set... More

Just saw that noboby rated this camp yet. This is a pitty, as it is one of the most beatifull camps in Kruger. The rondawels/cottages are nicely grouped, superb view from restaurant/cafetaria over the Letaba river. Don't forget to visit the Elephant hall. We are visiting KNP for about 10 years, and this is one of our top camps. More
