Kruger National Park · From Johannesburg
Two nights inside Kruger National Park at Satara Rest Camp, with three guided game drives and return road transfers from Johannesburg.
Staying at Satara Rest Camp
Price confirmed for your travel dates on enquiry
This 3-day safari from Johannesburg spends two nights inside Kruger National Park at Satara Rest Camp, a large camp on Kruger's open central plains, known for lion, leopard and cheetah. Staying in a rest camp means you wake up in the park, ready for the first game drive as the camp gates open.
You travel by road from Johannesburg or Pretoria and enter the park at Orpen Gate, 48 km from the camp, with game viewing on the way to camp. A full day with your guide in an open safari vehicle follows, and a final morning drive before the journey home. Sightings are never guaranteed.
The price, the unit type at Satara and the meal basis are confirmed for your travel dates when you enquire.

We collect you from your Johannesburg or Pretoria accommodation early in the morning for the road journey east into Mpumalanga. You enter the park at Orpen Gate, 48 km from the camp, and your guide begins the game drive as soon as you are in the park.
You reach Satara Rest Camp in the afternoon to check in, with time to settle before the camp gates close. The evening is yours at the camp.
Overnight: Satara Rest Camp
Set out as the camp gates open for a full day in the park with your guide in an open safari vehicle. Your guide explores the open plains around Satara, where lion, leopard and cheetah are recorded regularly and herds of zebra, wildebeest and buffalo graze, with a stop at a bird hide when time allows.
You return to Satara before the camp gates close for your second night in the park.
Overnight: Satara Rest Camp
Join a SANParks sunrise drive in an open vehicle, which leaves the camp about half an hour before the gates open and lasts about three hours, when animals are most active. Then check out of Satara Rest Camp and leave the park for the road journey back to Johannesburg or Pretoria, arriving in the evening.
Rates depend on your travel dates, group size and room type. Send us your dates and we will confirm the rate for this safari.
You stay two nights at Satara Rest Camp, a SANParks camp inside Kruger National Park. Satara has a restaurant, deli and shop, a mini ATM, a filling station, a laundromat, communal kitchens, and a swimming pool with a children's playground. Most accommodation is arranged in circles, and there is an eco information centre and amphitheatre. Wildlife films are shown every evening except Sundays. The unit type is confirmed for your travel dates.
Satara is in central Kruger. The nearest entrance is Orpen Gate, 48 km from the camp and about 2 hours' drive. From central Gauteng the drive to Orpen Gate takes about 4 to 5 hours, and Eastgate Airport at Hoedspruit is about 68 km from the gate.
Return road transfers from Johannesburg or Pretoria, two nights at Satara Rest Camp, three guided game drives in an open safari vehicle and Kruger conservation fees are included; the meal basis is confirmed in your quotation.
Staying in a rest camp means you sleep inside Kruger National Park, so you are already in the bush when the camp gates open in the morning.
Satara is known for big cats: lion, leopard and cheetah are recorded regularly, and spotted hyena often whoop from the camp perimeter at night. Rhino, buffalo, elephant, giraffe, zebra, wildebeest and waterbuck are common, and the birdlife is prolific. Sweni and Ratel Pan bird hides are within about 35 km. Sightings are never guaranteed.
