Longwe Lookout

About Longwe Lookout

Longwe Lookout is an elevated scenic viewpoint located at the terminus of the S62 gravel road, approximately 16 kilometres north of Letaba Rest Camp within South Africa's Kruger National Park. Situated on a high hill overlooking the Letaba River, this officially designated "get-out point" allows self-drive visitors to legally exit their vehicles at their own risk to take in panoramic views of the surrounding mopaniveld shrubland and the nearby Engelhard Dam.

According to SANParks accessibility profiles, the site features a flat, compacted earth and gravel turnaround area for vehicles, though it remains a basic viewpoint without public toilet facilities. Because of its vantage point over the river system, it serves as a prominent spot for tracking large game like elephants and hippos, while the riverine bush below frequently attracts diverse avian species, including the Green-backed Heron and the Hamerkop.
