Pros & cons

PROS

  • Well‑stocked with self‑catering basics, fresh bread, and souvenirs
  • Slimline ATM cash‑out available at the till

CONS

  • Prices are higher than outside the park
  • Fresh produce variety can be limited

Overview

This is the camp’s go‑to general store: rebuilt after a fire and now a modern, tidy space that does what you need it to do—keep your cooler, braai, and snack stash topped up. Expect a solid spread for self‑catering plus a decent curio selection. It’s not a supermarket, but for a remote camp it punches above its weight.

What You’ll Find

  • Daily fresh bread, eggs, basic fruit/veg, and frozen meats for the braai
  • Ice, drinks, snacks, firewood/charcoal, maps, and souvenirs/curios
  • Handy odds and ends for campers (think small essentials and gear)
  • A slimline ATM: you get a slip and cash out at the till

Good to Know

  • Prices run higher than in town—normal for inside the park.
  • Produce variety is hit‑and‑miss; if you’re picky about brands or fresh greens, bring them in with you.
  • The camp filling station only accepts petrol/garage cards and cash, so having some cash on hand is smart.

Best Time to Visit

Open daily roughly 7 am–7 pm. It’s quietest early morning; late afternoon can get crowded as everyone returns from drives. If you want the best pick of bread and braai supplies without the queue, swing by soon after opening or late morning.

Nearby Pairings

Grab supplies, then wander over to the riverfront area or Elephant Hall for an easy add‑on between drives. Elephants are often visible in the Letaba riverbed from the camp precinct—nice bonus while you’re restocking.
