Fire damages two chalets at Kruger National Park’s Letaba Rest Camp

A fire broke out at Letaba Rest Camp in the Kruger National Park on Thursday, damaging two tourist chalets that were undergoing renovations.

SANParks spokesperson Rey Thakuli said camp staff, including the ranger team, had responded immediately and managed to contain the blaze before it could spread.

“The two chalets were out of commission and were not occupied. They were being renovated, and the area was cordoned off,” Thakuli added.

He said guests at the camp were not affected as the fire occurred away from occupied accommodation.
