Introduction

Satao Rock Camp is situated on 98 000 acres of the Taita ranch on the border of Tsavo East National Park. It is the sister camp of Satao Camp, a very popular camp with tourists and locals. Perched some 80 feet up on a huge rock kopje, the camp overlooks a small waterhole where animals come to drink.

Camp Description

Satao Rock Camp has 8 comfortable en suite twin tents. Each tent has a bird's eye view of untouched wildlife habitat of Tsavo East. The chefs will ensure quality food is served at all times.

Game Viewing

Tsavo National Park is the largest parks in the world. Wildlife in Tsavo East includes black rhino, hirola antelope, elephant, leopard, lion, mongoose, giraffe, Cape buffalo, bat-eared fox, hyrax, Grevy's zebra, ground pangolin, Sykes's monkey, black faced vervet monkey and dik dik to name a few. Over 500 species of bird have been recorded in the area including, ostrich, kestrel, starling, weaver bird, kingfisher, buzzard, hornbill, secretary bird and heron. The Kenyan Wildlife Service launched a relocation programme to gather animals in well protected sanctuaries where they can enhance their breeding chances. This has made Tsavo East the only place where visitors can reasonable expect to see hirola.
