- first the bush…
A thrilling bush adventure

The Kruger National Park is home to all the classical African big game, including elephant, rhino, lions, leopards, buffalo, hippos, giraffe, zebra, warthog, all kinds of antelope, wildebeest… just to mention a few of its 147 mammal species.
The possibility of seeing these incredible animals living out their lives in untouched African bush is beyond incredible. And don’t forget the most breathtaking landscapes.

A fabulous drive
We wend our way through Mozambique, heading for the coast. It is an unforgettable experience to be driven through this colourful, vibrant, and very beautiful country.
The scenery is stunning as it changes from bushveld to coastal. The people are surely the friendliest on the planet! And that first smell of fresh, salty seaside air after the dust of the bushveld is unforgettable.

Letaba Camp
Letaba is set high on a riverbank with a great sweeping view over the vast sandy river where elephant and buffalo come down to drink, along with a host of other animals. The camp has magnificent trees beneath which a population of bushbuck wander around freely.
The Elephant Hall is an absolute must-see. Everything you want to know about our elephant friends is all there in one beautiful hall. It also showcases the colossal tusks of the park’s greatest tuskers of years gone by.
The camp restaurant’s deck overlooks the river, and the camp has a swimming pool and well-stocked shop.

Why we love it
We love Mozambique’s coastline… it has some of the most beautiful beaches in the world. We love the friendly people and rich culture with its influences from Portuguese, African, and Arabic traditions. We love the food – a stunning blend of Portuguese and African cuisine.
Pair this with our love of wild, remote and untouched northern Kruger National Park… it’s an unbeatable combination.
