It’s time for our long-awaited month of summer holidays at Satara, in the Kruger National Park. We set off from Pretoria at 10am, drove 80% of the way in drenching rain – much appreciated in our drought stricken country – and finally arrived at Orpen Gate about an hour before the gates closed, just enough time to reach Tamboti Tented Camp, where we spent our first night in the bush.

We have never stayed at Tamboti – It looks awesome!

Definitel worth a try, Helen, though we find the road network around the camp too limited for an extended stay.
