Incident Report at Letaba Rest Camp
On 24 September 2026, a fire was reported at the popular Letaba Rest Camp within the Kruger National Park. The blaze affected two tourist units, prompting an immediate response from camp staff and the dedicated ranger team on-site.
Safety and Compliance in the Park
SANParks continues to urge all visitors to prioritize safety and follow official guidelines while exploring the park. This includes strictly adhering to road closures and respecting 'no entry' signage.
