Letaba sits on a wide bend of the Letaba River, roughly halfway up the Kruger, and the sandy riverbed below camp draws elephant. Its 60 tent and caravan stands have power points, and campers use communal kitchens and ablutions. The camp has the Elephant Hall museum, a shop, cafeteria, filling station, laundromat and pool. The filling station takes only cash and garage cards, and Phalaborwa Gate is 51 km away.
