This 42 000 ha provincial game park, which
shares an unfenced boundary with the Kruger
National Park about 10 km north of Phalaborwa,
has a truly untamed character, with it’s
predominantly mopane bush veld, transected in
the north (for approximately 20 km) by the Groot
Letaba River. Large herds of buffalo and elephant
is what Letaba Ranch is best reknown for, while
lion is often heard at night.
Ntomeni Camp, named after the magnificent
jackal berry trees which grace this spot and which
shade the lapa area in front of the kitchen, is
situated on the bank of the Groot Letaba River.
Each of the sleeping tents has an excellent view
on the river, which harbors a vibrant population
of hippos which can be heard daily in the camp.
Due to the rudimentary nature of the vast road
network and roads often found obstructed by
trees being pushed over by elephants, self driving
in Letaba Ranch is confined to a main road artery
along the Groot Letaba River up to the KNP
boundary and from the north to the south. A
game drive with the AIR field guides will however
ensure an intimate trouble free and rewarding
experience.
