I actually had one of my best game-viewing experiences just north of Letaba where well over 1,000 buffalo were running in a long column which stretched a few kilometers, to get to the Malopenyana waterhole. When they arrived, they drank it dry. It was an experience I've never had again and very memorable. It's always been one of my favorite camps, and the bridge at sunset is magical.
We just spent a night in Letaba, and it is by far my favourite camp! Added 17 bird sightings to our list, and thoroughly enjoyed the walks and close by hide and view points. We'll be back annually!!
We've always been very lucky with amazing sightings at Letaba - we had lions on a giraffe kill 4 kms from camp for 3 days - night sounds were out of this world! Leopard hub of Kruger for me. Agree - sundowners on the bridge are a must.
Great video but you need to come to Letaba with me and I'll show you some great sightings - seen countless leopards near Letaba, resident side-striped jackals, plentiful big game like Elephant and buffalo and not to mention good general game. I've seen dogs, plentiful hyena dens and lions in close proximity to camp. The secret is not to drive further than 10km from camp - all the game and predators congregate and live close to camp.
Are you talking about Letaba in the Kruger National Park? 🤔😂 I’m glad you’ve had so much luck there - that’s awesome! It just shows you - nature is full of surprises.
One of our favourite camps 🤩🙌🏼 The birding in camp like you said is fantastic. Rikus and I camped there for a week just after we got married and we would have two or three Scopsies above our tent every evening 🤩 But on our last night a little boy came with his blue light torch and shone it in that tree 😐 It lit up like a Christmas tree with all the scorpions. Luckily it was on our last night 😂🙈 Amazing video as usual Villiers! Your videography is something we could only dream of. 🙏🏼
This is like saffron and truffles all in one: a brick of gold. Such valuable information and coming from Australia I really appreciate the honesty you give in respect to sightings, time of the year to visit and best position for setting up camp 🏕🐆❤️
I love staying at Letaba as well - such a camp with a stunning view of the river. My other favourite camps are Satara, Olifants, Lower Sabie and Biyameti and quite recently Berg en Dal. Loved all the birds and very interesting Elephant Museum. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
I re-watched this with my wife....got inspired to visit. Thank you....as always wonderful....but I am still waiting for the Maasai Mara video....when is it coming up ? Because we visited almost the same time I am more eager to see what you experienced.
Hi Villiers , ek het jou n paar jaar gelede ontmoed toe ek vir my broer , Loot Schulz van Pungwe gaan kuier het. Ek het onlangs jou videos begin kyk op You Tube and kan nie wag tot jou volgende een kom nie. Mag ek noem dat jou verduideliking van kampe , sightings en algemene kennis van verskillende parke ens uit die boonste rakke is. Moet nooit ophou nie , dit gee vir my en my vrou heerlike rondrits en safari oomblike reg vanuit ons sitkamer . Ons hoop om eendag weer biekie Hoedspruit se omgewing te kom. Goed gaan Sieg & Runa
Uiteindelik het jy video oor Letaba! 🙌🏻. Ek was op soek na video oor Letaba so 2 weke terug. Het laas week Vrydag paar aande daar bespreek. Ons gaan einde Oktober paar aande Satara toe en het toe besluit om sommer bietjie Letaba en omgewing te gaan uitcheck daarna. Ja sommige sê ons gaan net Mopanies en olifante sien, ander sê weer hulle het baie predators gesien. Gelukkig like ons van voëls ook 😉
Jackie, dit lyk my ek spandeer te veel tyd in kamp en te min in my kar om Letaba as ek die comments so lees 😅 Dis pragtige wêreld daai en selfs al sien jy min soos ek, is dit meer as die moeite werd om daar oor te bly. Daai olifant museum is stunning en n bietjie tyd tevoet in die kamp is werklik wonderlik vir n voëlliefhebber! Geniet!
Great review, this is one camp/area I've seen a lot. One drive i saw two Leopards and two cheetahs all in 4 different sightings within an hour drive and it remains an area I've seen most Leopards in the park.
Ja baie lekker. Min diere gesien soos jy noem, maar die mooiheid en rustigheid van die kamp maak Letaba heeltemal die moeite werd. Nog mooi groen vir hierdie tyd van die jaar. En om vir lank die wereld te gaan dophou laatmiddag op die brug en by Mantambeni skuiling was ook baie lekker.

I love Berg-en-Dap as well!
Another great episode Villiers! We love Letaba the river views are so amazing and totally agree on the elephant museum; it’s really top notch.
That view from the restaurant is just the best 😍
The new shop is quite nice
Awesome review Villiers. I really enjoy Letaba, for the exact reasons you mention.
Thanks Mark 🙏🏻😎

Agreed, amazing camp but limited game viewing opportunities. Excellent content as usual, thanks!
Thanks so much, Gerhard.
Very nice video as always ! Was there a month ago, always love to go back, shame the shop is still in that condition.

@@TheSafariExpert dankie Villiers, ons sal beslis
Wow beautiful place bro...beautiful clips tooo...i love it
Thanks Ajay!
@@TheSafariExpert you are welcome bro

That’s VERY lucky!!
May I ask what camera you use? Great video, very insightful.
I use a Canon R6 and a Canon 100-500mm RF lens
We are now going in August to KNP. We will tour form to to bottom over 10days. Would it be needed to take malaria tables this time of the year?
No Heinrich, it will not be necessary this time of the year
Was die naweek by Letaba en wag al lank vir hierdie video haha!
Het julle darem n lekker tyd daar gehad, Stephano?
Ja baie lekker. Min diere gesien soos jy noem, maar die mooiheid en rustigheid van die kamp maak Letaba heeltemal die moeite werd. Nog mooi groen vir hierdie tyd van die jaar. En om vir lank die wereld te gaan dophou laatmiddag op die brug en by Mantambeni skuiling was ook baie lekker.
@@stephanohaarhoff4464, ag awesome man!
Letaba is great for game viewing. I strongly disagree
Don't pan your shots so fast. Makes me dizzy trying to watch
