Two chalets burnt down at Kruger National Park’s Letaba rest camp
The fire which erupted on Thursday night has since been extinguished.
Two chalets at the Letaba rest camp in Kruger National Park were damaged in a fire on Thursday, 24 September. According to SABC News and The Citizen, the fire was quickly contained by rangers and camp staff, and no injuries or fatalities were reported. The cause of the fire is currently unknown and under investigation.
The chalets had recently been renovated after being damaged in floods earlier this year. The rest camp's other facilities, including the park shop, filling station, elephant museum, and camp reception, remain operational.
The Letaba rest camp is still recovering from the floods, with 25 tourism units already restored and reopened. A further 64 units, including the restaurant, are currently being repaired, with completion expected by late November.
