About this place
Discover the magic of lion country at Satara Plains Camp, an exclusive seasonal safari experience inspired by AmaShangaan culture. Open from May to September, this luxury canvas tented camp near Satara Rest Camp offers an unparalleled cultural safari adventure in the heart of Kruger National Park.
The camp features luxury canvas suites with queen beds, premium linen, mosquito nets, en-suite facilities with butler-fed warm showers, and covered patios overlooking the vast African plains. Each tent is elegantly appointed with electric lamps, vanity mirrors, luggage racks, and softly lit walkways with night escort service.
Your stay includes one game drive a day through prime lion territory, all meals showcasing local flavours, house wines and spirits, and storytelling around the firepit under the African stars. A second game drive and a walking safari with an armed ranger can be added at extra cost.
This seasonal pop-up camp embodies sustainable tourism practices, being completely removed at season end to restore the natural environment. The camp is solar and generator-powered with water-saving measures and locally sourced ingredients. No children under 12 years allowed.
