The trip was enjoyable!
"Thank you for the smooth arrangement of my booking. The trip was also enjoyable. I know the park very well, been there ± 60 times, and still my favorite spot to spend short visits."

Congratulations to all the workers for keeping our park in such a great condition, it is a well picture to our foreign visitors going back to their origin with good testomonies. Thanks again for making our stay such a big pleasure."

Review
"I have stayed at the Kruger park camps since 1989 and still find them to be sufficient and clean for our needs. Even the basic lodging is always nice. Only complaint would be the lack of choices on the menu in the restaurant in the low season. Quiet in our camp and friendly staff. Will always return!Service in restaurant is quiet slow for individuals who need to get going."

Our Experience at Letaba Camp
"Hi
It was definitely a vacation to remember except for one problem. Our inflatable mattress got a puncture on our 1st night. So we rented a mattress from reception, where they told us our money will be fully refunded if we brought the mattress back. However on the day of our departure the manager said sorry that was the wrong info and he is only going to give us R50 back. We had no problem paying for the mattress, but he made us feel like criminals because we 're expecting our money back & he said we should have known something wasn't right(sorry but we are the tourist how are we suppose to know...)!
But further it was a wonder experience and a great vacation. We also would like to give a big thanks to the game rangers Rihanna & Jacques they were very nice and helpful.
We are already planning our next vacation to the Kruger and can't wait to see you all again."

Letaba stay
"Very nice experience. The booking-in procedure at Letaba could have been better. Lady did not seem overly competent or friendly. Also - the money paid over at the gate of entry did not make sense as the 3 vehicles in our group paid different tariffs and it was not quite clear what the difference in tariffs were for. But apart from that it was great. Bathrooms were clean. Camp was neat and overall the staff were very friendly and helpful."

Letaba Oct 2011
"Camp site Power and bathroom facilities had some issues... Please also note that Gas is now regulated like petrol and the Park cannot ask inflated prices.
Other than this we had a great time in the Kruger park (Letaba) and will do it again."

"I was surprised that we had to pay the conservation fees a second time around when we already paid in Olifants and we did not get out of the park"

Always a good place to rest!
"The only main problem with the camp is that you can never find the time to stay as long as you want to.
The service, ablutions, campsite and evening braais were exceptional.
Thanks to all staff at KNP - swell job
Even the Moz border post excellent.
A definite must go!"
- J. Grobler (South Africa)

Letaba Restcamp
"Thank you for offering an opportunity to pass on a few comments:
Arrived at Punda gate at 08h30 on a Thursday morning. Toilets were a mess. Reported it to the lady at the desk. She did not seem over concerned. Not a good start.
No big paper dust bin packet issued to each visitor. Surely this is an important deterrent to littering.
General sloppiness prevailed at the Punda gate. First impressions are lasting impressions.
Sorry to pass on some negative feedback. Rest of the stay was, as always, wonderful."

Letaba Restcamp
"Very noisy campers, consuming large amounts of alcohol and disturbing the peace and tranquility that one expects to enjoy in the Park. Also feeding the hyenas walking along the fence at night. They should be black-listed and banned from the Park."

Letaba food not cool
"We had a fantastic camping weekend at Letaba rest camp on Sunday we packet up and decided to has a quick bite at the cafeteria before we leave. Not to say quick. It took us a half hour to get six cool drinks. Once we received that we ordered six pies chips and gravy. Twenty minutes later they told us they don't have six pies but only two. We then ordered burgers and chips. Half hour later they arrived. They were terrible. How can we serve overseas customers with kind of quality. There is no pride in the service. What happened to the good old buffalo pies and real beef burgers."

Letaba
"Inventory of crockery & cutlery incomplete and mixed odds & ends.
Dusty areas in front of huts no longer watered.
Many view points obstructed by shrubs & trees-very frustrating.
Elephant hall of fame could be refreshed."

"Rest" Camps
"After an early morning start on Saturday we returned to Letaba for an afternoon relax before going out for a sunset drive.
On arrival at Letaba we found a radio station set up outside doing a outside broadcast.
I was forced to listen to loud music which I would never listen to, in fact I had never even heard of the radio station in question.
I am bemused as to why Kruger Park thinks this is an appropriate area to have an open area broadcast of loud irritating music which was of no relevance to probably 90% of the occupants/residents of Letaba.
When I made a booking I was never informed that the would be a radio station playing loud music right outside my chalet window?
In conclusion it meant I had to spoil my Saturday afternoon relax by running around trying to find the right person to deal with the situation.
When I did find someone I was informed I would have to listen to the noise until 15h00.
This is unacceptable -this is a rest camp in a nature environment, I should have not been subject to any loud music at all.
In your own brochure it states no loud stereo noise so as not to upset other guests and animals?
Your comments would be interesting?"

"We found the bungalow quite sparsely furnished and dated. The utensils were inadequate. The communal cooking area was substandard. The wildlife was great!"

Camping at Letaba
"Cleanliness at the ablution blocks has seriously deteriorated. On 3 occasions the floors were so dirty that people were unable to use the facilities and on the day of arrival there was no hot water. I am a regular to the Kruger Park and have been there approximately 3 times / year for the last 30 years. Its is the 1st time that I have the inclination to complain about what used to be my favourite campsite. There is also an obvious lack of electricity distribution points as some people had to go and buy another 30m lead to access it. Disorganization in the restaurants is at an all time high. The food is also a mass produced tasteless experience and the good old pie, chips and gravy of the past have been replaced with something awful. I witnessed tourists complaining in Olifants camp and, having the same thing on my plate, was actually embarrassing."

Letaba Restcamp
"The camp is beautiful, but we were a bit disappointed to see not much wild. We drew many kilometres to see some wild we haven`t seen in Pretoriuscamp, but it was fun as well. I would stay in Satara or Skukusa next time for sure.I loved the Safari tents! Keep up the good work. Hope to see you a again soon."
