A fire broke out in a shop in the Letaba rest camp in the Kruger National Park on Wednesday evening, September 9.

‘KNP is sad to announce that a massive fire broke out in the Letaba shop late on Wednesday evening. The cause of the fire is unknown at this stage,’ South African National Parks said on Facebook.

‘Staff and emergency personnel are busy trying to bring the fire under control. Firefighting teams from Olifants and Phalaborwa have been activated. No injuries have been reported,’ SANParks added.

The fire continued to rage through the night and was contained on Thursday morning.

‘This morning guests and staff are waking up to a horrible sight of the burnt TV room and shop at Letaba camp,’ SANParks said. ‘The fire was finally brought under control this morning without any casualties. Well done to all involved. Investigations into the cause of the fire have commenced.’
