Satao Camp

Tsavo National Park occupies nearly 22,000 km2 , and is one of Kenya's oldest and largest National Parks. Its beautiful landscape and proximity to the coast make it a popular safari destination.

Satao Camp is located in Tsavo East, which covers about half this area. There is a wide variety of animals to be seen in Tsavo East, including lion, leopard, cheetah, zebras, giraffes, serval cats, antelopes, lesser kudu, oryx, klipspringer, impala, stripped hyena, gazelles, buffalos and elephants. Some 500 bird species have been recorded in the area, including ostrich and some migratory kestrels, while buzzards stop at Tsavo East during their long flight south.

Famous and home to some of the largest herds of elephant in Kenya, the elephants glow red after dust baths, blowing the vivid red dust through their trunks over their bodies; large prides of lion are sighted regularly and another great sight is the spectacular herds of up to 1,000 buffalo.

The unequalled knowledge the guides have of Tsavo East National Park gives guests the best chance to see many of the various species of animals that inhabit this fantastic Park. The safari vehicles are equipped with everything you need to have a perfect game drive including roof hatches that give you the best position to photograph the awesome scenery, as well as cold boxes for stocking a welcome cold drink during the heat of the day.

Nestled amongst trees and surrounding a central water-hole, the semi-circular layout of the camp provides an excellent viewing point for each guest.

Satao Camp has 20 tents in total, thoughtfully positioned to ensure a full view of the camps "own" watering hole. The 20 tents are made up of 16 family tents and 4 suites, each one with its own verandah. The tents are attractively furnished with locally made beds and unique African designs.

Each spacious tent has a private bathroom with running water. The shower however is in the true African style, whereby the camp staff bring hot water in the evening.
