The bird life is also prolific. Farming communities, combining their faith, experience and technology produce almost half of the country's tomatoes. This picturesque village is approximately 17 km from Tzaneen and offers the ecotourist an experience of an unspoilt wilderness area with a panorama of the Wolkberg named after the misty clouds that surrounds it after a rainstorm. The Letsitele valley has only recently been inhabited, in 1914, and development only started taking place in 1950 when malaria was brought under control by Dr Siegfried Anneke. Life in this area, centres around the Great Letaba river.
Opportunities exist here for eco-tourism and trophy hunting.
