Satara Rest Camp, Kruger
Satara is a busy camp, and not without reason. It is situated in an excellent game viewing area famous for its big cat activity. The camp itself has an old Africa charm about it, 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. A variety of accommodation types, with facilities catering to a range of guest requirements, is available at Satara. These include a campsite where guests can pitch their own tents or caravans, family-sized guest cottages, smaller bungalows, and three luxury guest houses. Guided bush walks, game drives, a 4x4 trail, wildlife films, kids' educational programmes and bush breakfasts and barbecues are just some of the activities on offer at the camp. Through prior arrangement with the camp, catered traditional dances can also be arranged.
