Kruger Untamed Satara Plains Camp is a seasonal tented lodge inside the Kruger National Park, a few kilometres from Satara Rest Camp. It opens for the dry winter months, from May to September, and is taken down again at the end of each season so the land returns to the bush.
Its 30 canvas suites are spread across open savanna. Each has a covered verandah, a queen bed that converts to twins, a dressing room that takes two single beds and an en suite bathroom with a bush shower filled with hot water twice a day.
Days centre on a daily game drive, with extra drives and guided bush walks available at a surcharge. Between drives there is a lounge with gazebos, hanging chairs and loungers, a wood fired hot tub and a fire every evening. The Satara area is known for its lions, and buffalo, elephant and big herds of plains game are common on the grasslands.
