Kruger National Park · From Johannesburg
Two nights inside Kruger National Park at Letaba Rest Camp, with three guided game drives and return road transfers from Johannesburg.
Staying at Letaba Rest Camp
Price confirmed for your travel dates on enquiry
This 3-day safari from Johannesburg spends two nights inside Kruger National Park at Letaba Rest Camp, a camp on a sweeping bend of the Letaba River, home of the Elephant Hall and known for elephants. Staying in a rest camp means you wake up in the park, ready for the first game drive as the camp gates open.
You travel by road from Johannesburg or Pretoria and enter the park at Phalaborwa Gate, 51 km from the camp, with game viewing on the way to camp. A full day with your guide in an open safari vehicle follows, and a final morning drive before the journey home. Sightings are never guaranteed.
The price, the unit type at Letaba and the meal basis are confirmed for your travel dates when you enquire.

We collect you from your Johannesburg or Pretoria accommodation early in the morning for the road journey east into Mpumalanga. You enter the park at Phalaborwa Gate, 51 km from the camp, and your guide begins the game drive as soon as you are in the park.
You reach Letaba Rest Camp in the afternoon to check in, with time to settle before the camp gates close. The evening is yours at the camp.
Overnight: Letaba Rest Camp
Set out as the camp gates open for a full day in the park with your guide in an open safari vehicle. Your guide explores the Letaba River and the mopane country around the camp, where elephants gather in the riverbed and waterbuck and buffalo are common, with time at the Letaba Elephant Hall.
You return to Letaba before the camp gates close for your second night in the park.
Overnight: Letaba Rest Camp
Join a SANParks sunrise drive in an open vehicle, which leaves the camp about half an hour before the gates open and lasts about three hours, when animals are most active. Then check out of Letaba Rest Camp and leave the park for the road journey back to Johannesburg or Pretoria, arriving in the evening.
Rates depend on your travel dates, group size and room type. Send us your dates and we will confirm the rate for this safari.
You stay two nights at Letaba Rest Camp, a SANParks camp inside Kruger National Park. The camp has a restaurant, cafeteria and shop, a small ATM in the shop, a filling station (card and cash), a laundromat and a swimming pool. The Letaba Elephant Hall is in the camp, and there is a riverside walk along the camp fence. Masorini Ruins are about 38 km away and Matambeni Bird Hide about 10 km north. The unit type is confirmed for your travel dates.
Letaba lies on a bend of the Letaba River, midway between the southern and northern ends of the park; its name means 'river of sand'. The nearest entrance is Phalaborwa Gate, 51 km from the camp and about 2 hours' drive, and Gateway Airport at Phalaborwa is about 3 km from the gate.
Return road transfers from Johannesburg or Pretoria, two nights at Letaba Rest Camp, three guided game drives in an open safari vehicle and Kruger conservation fees are included; the meal basis is confirmed in your quotation.
Staying in a rest camp means you sleep inside Kruger National Park, so you are already in the bush when the camp gates open in the morning.
Elephants are plentiful, especially in the riverbed in front of the camp, and waterbuck and buffalo are common. Lion and cheetah kills have been seen on the riverbed below the restaurant. Tree squirrels, fruit bats and vervet monkeys live in the camp, so never leave food unattended. Sightings are never guaranteed.
Yes, we can arrange this safari privately for couples, families and groups; ask when you enquire.
