Kruger National Park: Power outage challenges at Satara Rest Camp! [update]

update (07 November 2024): Eskom has restored the power supply. Satara Rest Camp in Kruger National Park is now back on normal operations.

South African National Parks (SANParks) on Saturday (02 November 2024) announced that Satara Rest Camp in Kruger National Park was badly affected by the recent hail storm that has broken down 21 Eskom power poles. The team from Eskom has been working at the camp to restore the fault for several days.
Satara Rest Camp is currently operating on contingency plans such as generator power supply for the whole camp. For this reason, multiple services have suffered a significant setback. The camp is still fully operational while the management team works to restore the power together with Eskom personnel. Guests are advised to please ensure that they have enough cash to access fuel services as all card machines are not working. Satara Rest Camp is also struggling with cell phone reception. We'll keep you posted!
