Satara

Satara is a camp providing accommodation and camping options in the heart of Kruger National Park. The site offers self-catering bungalows, tent pitches, a restaurant, store, and fuel station for visitors.

The camp was founded in 1928, named after an Indian surveyor who marked the area as the seventeenth zone during his land survey project. This naming reflects the surveying work that shaped the park's early development.

The site functions as a learning hub for wildlife conservation, where visitors engage with ranger-led experiences focused on understanding animal behavior and park protection. This role shapes how people experience and appreciate the natural environment around them.

The flat, open location makes navigation easy and allows clear views across the landscape. Visitors should note that early morning and late afternoon are the best times for wildlife watching in this area.

The open, flat landscape surrounding the site is known for frequent big cat sightings. Visitors find especially good conditions here for observing lions, leopards, and cheetahs in their natural environment.
