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

I thought the camp would have a perimeter fence, it doesn't! This is proper safari, not for the faint hearted. The tents are fantastic, surrounded by a wooden exoskeleton to prevent any animals from getting in. They have a solid bathroom built on to the back of them with all the luxuries of a good hotel. 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

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

We stayed here for two nights during our safari and wow!!! Arriving after an early start & long drive you take a quick look around and you are blown away. 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

Imagine sitting in your warm bath looking out of the window, when three lionesses strolled past! Later, was also looking at a small herd of Elephants from my bathroom. This is Satao Camp in Tsavo East, although have to admit we did have an upgrade to the best tent in the camp. Imagine, also spotting the Hirola, a very rare... More
