Recommended game drives from this camp:1. From Letaba Restcamp, travel north along the
H1-6 past Das Neve’s Cross and take a right on the
S62, which has several branches leading to smaller loops and lookout points, including the Matambeni Bird hide. The road leads all the way to the Longwe Lookout. The same route can be taken back to the
H1-6.
2. The
S46 leads out of Letaba Restcamp, and loops around the camp, along the Great Letaba River (becoming the
S94), before joining up with the main road – the
H1-6.
