Our first night's accommodation in Kruger was at Satara Camp, about 100 km (60 miles) east of the park gate closest to Sabie. Despite this relatively short distance on a great paved road, it took us two and a half hours to arrive at our destination! This was because of the abundance of African game that assaulted us from all sides only moments after entering the park! We simply had to stop to observe and, in some cases, follow or stop completely as game either walked down the road or crossed it! As with all the Game Park camps, Satara is very well set-up with lodgings, restaurant, shops for essentials and a laundromat. Because darkness falls early in Africa, you must be in camp by 6 PM because that is when the gates are closed and the electrified fence is activated to protect you in your cocoon for the night! After all, you are intruding in a wild game area, and the night is theirs!
Unique Qualities: Our rondavel (African for a circular grass-thatched hut) came complete with two single beds, en-suite bathroom/shower, air-conditioning and ceiling fan as well as an outside kitchen area consisting of a sink, refrigerator, stove and table/chairs. We paid 220 Rand (US $60) for these great lodgings!
