  I am a travel writer and seasoned traveller in East Africa. I have stayed at Satao Camp twice, a total of 8 nights, and I will go back. Satao offers all the comfots and niceties of luxury safari camps; but also has the most friendly, caring, sharing and attentive staff. It's in a perfect location for game drives. A multitude of wildlife come to the 2 water holes facing the tents all the time: elephants, hippos, buffalos, antelopes and lions. There are many wild animals (impalas, mangooses, monkeys, bush buck...) in the camp. It has only 20 tents guaranteeing privacy and tranquility.

  I couldn’t speak more highly of Satao Camp in Tsavo East. We saw lions, elephants, giraffes, hippos, ostriches, and so many more including many bird variations. Our tour guide Chris made sure we were informed, had fun and most importantly were safe. The glamorous tents were built to keep bugs and monkeys out and were perfectly cleaned each day. The food was excellent and every single staff member was attentive and personal. I’d like to give a special shout out to the guard Patrick who always made me and my friend feel safe. My ONLY very small note for improvement is the shower water was a little cold. I will be recommending this trip to friends and family.

  Satao is an amazing place! I think the water hole in front of the camp is the best thing. Many animals come to it during the dry season. We saw a family of 25 elephants that came every morning. There were also many zebras. We even saw three female lions chasing some zebras at night—amazing! At night, Grant's gazelles sleep inside the camp because there is no fence. We even heard lions roar at night! The food is amazing! If you stay on a Saturday, you'll enjoy a barbecue at your table! The only downside for us is that the camp is quite far inside the park. We often drive for hours to see animals.

  Our stay at Satao Camp was absolutely unforgettable — far beyond our expectations! Before arriving, I imagined we might see a few animals from a distance, but what we experienced was pure magic. Elephants, giraffes, and other wildlife were freely walking right next to the camp — it felt like being in the heart of nature, yet in complete comfort and safety. The tents were beautifully designed — spacious, spotless, and very comfortable. Every detail was well thought out, and the camp’s unique style fits perfectly with the surroundings. The staff were outstanding — friendly, caring, and always attentive to our needs. They made us feel truly welcome from the very first moment. In the evening, our guide even showed us lions, and later we could hear them roaring during the night — an unforgettable and thrilling experience that made the adventure even more special. Everything about Satao Camp deserves not just 10 out of 10, but 12 out of 12! If you’re planning to visit Tsavo East National Park, this is the place to stay. Thank you to the whole team for creating such a warm and magical atmosphere — we can’t wait to come back one day!

  This was a very different experience! This camp is amazing with the waterhole just 100m away from the tents. And got a nice viewpoint to look at all the animals going to drink some water. In the night it felt like the animals (Lions) were right outside the tent roaring so that was an experience for sure. Service and food here were amazing! We stayed one night here to do two Game Drives.
