Day 2: Northern Kruger Safari A morning safari in the area to the North of Letaba is conducted by your experienced guide. The vegetation of the area is characterized by Mopani shrub which is a favorite food source of the Elephant and a sighting of these graceful giants is a near certainty on the morning game drive. We return to Camp for breakfast after which a visit is made to the Elephant Museum situated in Letaba. The museum gives guests a unique insight into these, the largest of the world's mammals and is home to the tusks of the "Magnificent Seven" (Largest Tuskers to have died in the Kruger National Park).

Elephant Camp nestled atop a hill adjacent to the valley of the Elephant River is reached where a late breakfast can be enjoyed. The safari continues south, en route to Lower Sabi.

In addition to the lion, elephant, rhinoceros, buffalo and leopard, the reserve is blessed with a rich diversity of antelope and other mammal species.
