Offering a choice of affordable fully-catered and self-catering safari accommodation options in comfortable safari tents, Mtomeni Safari Camp is a great way to see true Africa and practice social distancing.
Situated on the banks of the Great Letaba River, at the Letaba Ranch, Greater Kruger National Park, Mtomeni is named after the Jackleberry trees that shade the safari tents.
Unfenced from Kruger National Park, the Letaba Ranch is known for its large herds of elephant and buffalo, as well as giraffe and African Wild Dog sightings.
Mtomeni is much loved for the fact that game walks within the Greater Kruger Park can be enjoyed. There is something different and somewhat exhilarating about exploring the natural environment on foot.
The safari camp is part of the African Ivory Route and is run by Transfrontier Parks Destinations, which runs several other amazing holiday destinations across South Africa.

Reviews from previous guests
“Wow, we had the most amazing stay of our G Adventures Trip at this camp. The food was excellent, so well presented and prepared with love and care. The accommodation was spotless and comfortable. The safari and the guided walk were the best, our guide Edwin was just fantastic. A lovely man, full of great knowledge of both the animals and the plants. His love of his job shone through. A wonderful experience, thank you!” wrote ClarieMag on their TripAdvisor page.
catztours added; “We stayed at Mtomeni for one night and enjoyed the stay at this rustic tented accommodation. This is a community driven camp and we really enjoyed the stay. The staff are really excellent and the game drive and bush walk a well-organized and educational experience. The tents are basic but this is what makes this accommodation a great one. Thank you to the staff for a great meal and bush experience.”
