This spruit is a tributary to the Sabie and was named after
the Tsonga ideophone: “labya”. It means; “ to go through the
water in one’s clothes” - Vd Wateren

Lanner Gorge

Named after the Lanner Falcon sometimes seen there, this spectacular gorge stretches along the Luvhuvhu river north of Punda Maria. It is inaccessible to tourists except for those on the Nyalaland Trail, and some from the private Pafuri camps.

Langtoon Dam

Dam in the Nkulumbeni Spruit east of Babalala. The Afrikaans name for the Jacana. Not accessible to tourists.

The dam was built in 1974 as the eastern boundary fence was going through the area. It was to compensate for lost watering opportunities at pans on the Mozambique side, especially for the roan antelope found in the area.

Demolished by man, not floods, as part of the water point plan.

Lamont waterhole

on the S55 close to Shingwedzi



This borehole, north of the Shingwedzi camp, was named by Dr Pienaar after WH Lamont. Bill Lamont served as a game ranger from 1942 to 1950. (Vd Wateren)

Letaba camp

The idyllic Letaba Rest Camp is situated on a sweeping bend of the Letaba River, midway between the southern and northern boundaries of the Kruger National Park, South Africa. At Letaba Camp you can choose between a guest house, cottage, bungalow, hut or a furnished safari tent, as well as camping and caravan sites for your lodging in Kruger Park.

LUVUVHU RIVER

This river can be found in the northern section of the park.

Driving over the river on the bridge on the H1-9 one gets to see a wonderland
This river continues and also passes the Pafuri picnic area
A further few kilometers down the road it finally joins the mighty Limpopo river at crooks corner
Named after the river bushwillow Combretum erythrophyllum called “muvuvhu” in Venda. Earlier travellers referred to this tree as “red leaf”. The wood of this tree is reputed to be poisonous. (Vd Wateren)

Limpopo River

Six major rivers, and many tributaries, stretch across the wilderness of this incredible park, with the Crocodile River forming the southern boundary and the Limpopo the northern boundary. The other major rivers in Kruger are the Olifants, Sabie, Letaba and Luvuvhu

This name was derived from the Ndebele word “ilimphopho” meaning “the river of the waterfall”. This proves to be true in the river’s upper course, where such a feature occurs. It was here where the Ndebele people used to source their water from, as crocodiles and hippo’s would not be present where too many rocky outcrops and rushing water occurs. (Vd Wateren)
