Satao Camp Safari Kenya Reviews

Satao Camp is a rustic accommodation with a cluster of 20 tents, which form a semi-circle around a waterhole, which regularly attracts elephant. There is a central dining area and bar, a campfire and an observation tower. The camp is in Tsavo East National Park, some 50 km from the main Mombasa Road. Tsavo East National Park is easily accessible by air and road. Game drives in open vehicles. Walking safaris along the Galana River and sand rivers. Sundowners, bush breakfast.

Tsavo East National Park is located in southeastern Kenya, approximately 200 kilometers from the city of Mombasa. It is the largest national park in Kenya, covering an area of approximately 11,747 square kilometers. The park is known for its large population of African wildlife, including the Big Five: lions, leopards, rhinos, elephants, and Cape buffaloes, as well as cheetahs, giraffes, zebras, and numerous species of birds.

The name Tsavo comes from the Tsavo River, which runs along the eastern and southern boundaries of the park. The area is largely arid and semi-arid, with a semi-desert climate, and consists of open plains, Savannah grasslands, and rocky outcrops. The landscape is dotted with acacia trees, and visitors can also find rivers, swamps, and lagoons.
Tsavo East National Park is home to a wide variety of wildlife, including more than 600 species of birds. The park is also renowned for its large herds of elephants, which often migrate between the park and adjoining Tsavo West National Park. Other animals include lions, leopards, cheetahs, hippos, zebras, gazelles, impalas, elands, and waterbucks.

Tsavo East National Park is a popular destination for safari tours, which provide visitors with the opportunity to view wildlife up close. Accommodation is available in the park, as well as in nearby towns and villages. Activities in the park include game drives, bush walks, and bird watching. Visitors can also explore nearby attractions, such as the Tsavo Lion Sanctuary and the Yatta Plateau, the world’s longest lava flow.

. The best part about Satao Camp is that many of the animals come to you, since there is a man made watering hole just about 50 feet from the tents. I saw elephants, hippos, impala, and monkeys. I would recommend this resort if you just want to unwind and relax by your tent and watch animals come and go, but if you want the best game viewing you should go to Masai Mara.

. The camp itself was fantstic - very well set up and luxiourious. The tents are safe, spacious, clean, and mosquito free, thanks to built in nets. We spent most afternoons on day beds on our verandah watching 100s of elephants around the watering hole or at the viewing tower keeping an eye on the hippos in the water.

. Really nice Camp with unique location. From the luxurious tents you have a wonderfull view, during the evening you'll see the elephants walk by, going to the waterhole for a drink. I would advise the suites, the have a frontal view to the waterhole and are really comfortable. The diner is served in buffet style and is nice.

. I would have no hesitation in recommending Satao camp to anyone - it was a once in a lifetime trip and worth every penny!

. The staff at Satao are wonderful, informative and friendly - the food is also excellent, and sipping a cold Tusker beer is also highly recommended! The action doesn't stop at night, it is strangely relaxing to hear the roar of the lions and elephants at night. This place is truly magical - it is the most at peace i have ever felt.

. We loved Sataoi, with its wonderful views of Kilimanjaro and its spacious accommodation and particularly the skilful use of natural resources in the construction of the camp. We certainly enjoyed the food our congratulations to the chef for his imaginative and tasty menus. The opportunity for varied bush walks was an added bonus.

Tsavo East - the trip was faultless in every sense. The national park is nowhere near as good as the Serengetti or Masai Mara, but for cheaper options near Mombasa I would recommend this - the camp is amazing and the food was better than any restaurant or hotel on the coast. If I could have stayed the whole 2 weeks here I would have done!
