Fodor's Expert Review Letaba

Overlooking the frequently dry Letaba River, this lovely old camp sits in the middle of elephant country in the park's central section. There's excellent game-viewing on all the roads round the camp: be careful in early morning and at sundown that you don't bump into a hippo. The camp itself has a real bush feel: all the huts are thatch (ask for one overlooking the river), and the grounds are full of old trees. The restaurant and snack bar look out over the broad, sandy busy-with-game riverbed. Campsites, on the camp's perimeter, offer lots of shade for your tent or trailer.
