Balule Satellite Camp
A SANParks self-catering camp.
The rustic Balule Satellite camp offers old-fashioned huts with no electricity, you are provided with lanterns, as well as campsites. The camp offers basic facilities which allow you to return to a simpler way of staying in the park. It is situated just on the other side of the Olifants river south of Olifants Rest Camp.
We do not take rest camp bookings. Camps are booked directly with SANParks, where current tariffs are published.

The luxury alternative
If you would rather not self-cater.
We do not take rest camp bookings. What our safari specialists do arrange is the private reserves of the Greater Kruger: private lodges where expert guiding, meals and game drives are included, and nothing is left to the camp kitchen. We look after international travellers and SADC residents alike, and many lodges offer reduced SADC rates.
