About Satao Elerai
In the private, 40-square-kilometre Elerai Conservation Area a little south-east of Amboseli National Park, ...
... and on a slight elevation above the surrounding landscape, Satao Elerai Camp is the closest camp to the peaks of Kilimanjaro. It offers a combination of great views, good game-watching and access both to its own conservancy and to the national park.
Mid-priced, comfortable and well-managed, Satao Elerai made an instantly likeable impression and made us feel very much at home. The conservation area has good wildlife, with lots of elephants – though you are probably less likely to see predators than in the park. What you get a great sight of here, when it shakes off its habitual covering of cloud, is magnificent Kilimanjaro, towering over the savannah to the south.
