HAPPY is the day we leave for Satara<we are in heaven . allis so fantastic staff cottages and adulutions clean. CANT WAIT FOR JANUARY 1ST

The S100 "the best" road in the whole of the Kruger Park.
I will be on the S100 only in March:(

I would like to know why there are no Satara Sightings like all the other camps?





NO TO HOTELS IN KRUGER PARK

Mainly because I think the others were started by game rangers on the forums that report from there.
But hey we can have a topic where we share satara sightings

Precisely.

The other camps that post sightings have a guide or an interested person on the forum who does it. There is nobody bassed at Satara that does it.

I am sure that those who do it, advertise their camp and get visitor support for doing it.

Well, if the camp isn't interested, then maybe forum visitors can just keep this post updated.
(Wish there were more rangers like MJ whose based at LS - her updates are not only informative but so entertaining).
Hope someone out there will start ... I'm visiting end July so will post then.

It is purely an individual's choice.

There is no obligation of any staff member to be on the forum.

Hi All

It was our first visit as a married couple to KNP and one we will never forget.

We spent 3 nights at Satara and already hubby is asking when we can go back!

Below are a few photos of our sightings I would like to share. We saw Cheetah (S100) and 2 large male lions (S126), but the photo quality is not great, therefore I am not posting them.

This leopard was marking its territory and mock charged us - H1-2 between Skukuza and Satara.
