If you are keen to stay at one of the safari camps within the confines of Kruger National Park, then you may want to consider staying in a rondawel at Satara Camp. A rondawel is the name for the traditional circular hut with a sloping thatched roof which can be found throughout Africa. At Satara Camp, it’s possible to stay in one of these for a very reasonable price, making a safari holiday an affordable option for many holiday makers on more modest budgets.

The rondawels are arranged around the edge of large circles with a green, open area in the middle. Each rondawel has an open-air kitchen area with a small table and chairs and basic kitchen equipment including a hob, microwave and sink plus cutlery, crockery and other utensils. The fridge-freezer is located in an airy, but lockable, cupboard in order to discourage raids from monkeys and honey badgers! The bedroom and bathroom areas are located inside the rondawel and all have air conditioning.  Everything is simply furnished and the huts are clean and comfortable and have an old-fashioned charm which cannot fail to please.
