Experience The Beauty And Wildlife Of The Amboseli And Mount Kilimanjaro From The Satao Elerai Camp
Satao Elerai Camp is located in a quiet, unspoilt, unique setting on a 5 000-acre private conservation area 12 kilometres southeast of Amboseli National Park at the foot of Africa's Largest mountain, Mt Kilimanjaro.
This Elerai Camp looks down onto the Amboseli National Park in one direction and up to Mt Kilimanjaro in the other direction, giving clients what is arguably the best location of any camp in Amboseli.
One of the biggest advantages of Satao Elerai Camp is that being located on its own private conservation area, clients have the chance to view wildlife in intimate surroundings. In addition, we also offer clients the opportunity to enjoy spectacular bush sundowners, night game drives, and game walks on the conservancy, activities that are not available at the lodges located within the park.
A drawcard is its spectacular views of the Amboseli plains and majestic Mount Kilimanjaro, as well as the abundant wildlife at the lodge's water hole alongside the lodge where the ;region's abundant wildlife come to drink.
