Description

The Satara Rest Camp in the world-renowned Kruger National Park is a busy camp, situated in an excellent game viewing area, with the bush relatively open and the animals plentiful and diverse.

The camp itself has a rustic charm, with the bulk of the accommodation set out in a series of circles. Satara is well wooded and the bird life is prolific. At night the clink of fruit bats is fused with the chirping of cicadas and crickets. The calls of owls and nightjars add to the symphony that is punctuated intermittently by the whoop of hyena, the screech of jackal and the roars of lion.

The Satara Rest Camp offers a deli and a shop, a restaurant, a communal laundromat, filling station, communal kitchens and ablutions, braai facilities, a swimming pool with children’s playground for overnight residents, and a day visitor picnic area with a boma on the perimeter of the camp.

Activities at Satara Rest Camp include guided bush walks, and morning, night and day game drives in the company of trained field guides, bush breakfasts and braais, seasonal kids educational programmes, wildlife films on the big screen daily except Sundays, Sweni Bird Hide located on the Sweni River about 30 km from camp, Ratel Pan Bird Hide located on the Timbavati/Roodewal road about 35 km from camp, and through prior arrangement with the camp, catered traditional dances can be arranged.
