Some people are adversely affected by the thought that wild animals are separated from them by a fraction of an inch of canvas, but real aficionados like yours truly can't get enough of the close up experience. The Satao Camp is located under a small forest of Acacia Robusta, which following heavy rains were lush and green as was the... More

We stayed in Tsavo east at the Sarova hotel and were delighted. Then we came to Satao. The registration told us we were in #15 and 16 but after lunch we went to those and they were occupied by others. Turned out we were in two tents with names, no numbers. No soap in the bathroom, the tent had no... More

After dark, you must... More

This is a wonderful camp in the national park. The natural watering hole is just a hundred yards from the camp, and hippos remain in there all day. The evenings brings with it the gazelle and various other animals that sleep directly outside your cabin, and it is an amazing sight both at night, and first thing in the morning... More

My son and I spent 3 nights at Satao, really excellent stay. Friendly, excellent service and food and great wildlife. Watching the water hole from our veranda was brilliant. Definitely recommend it. Our guide was Dixon who was really friendly and put himself out for us.

We stayed at SATAO over New Year and I wrote to Trip Advisor. We went back again for Easter and stayed three nights this time. SATAO and its staff are truly wonderful. The Manager, Paul, was as intentive as ever. The staff both in the restaurant and the tents are so efficient, you want for nothing. YOu don't have to... More

To have lunch while the elephants and other wild life are having a wash and dust bath is fantastic, no fences, no barriers just nature at its very best. The... More
