Satara
Purchase of a Webcam for Satara
Due to the overwhelming popularity of the Orpen web cam, SANParks would love to add more cameras to our website.
However as the cost of conservation management and habitat rehabilitation is a very expensive task and this is coupled with the financial responsibility for running multiple tourism plants etc. there is just no place in our budget for funding something that is surplus to our mandate, albeit a very popular complimentary facility.
Therefore, if we are to finance additional web cams, it will have to be through designated donation from private sources. If you are a regular visitor to this site and would like to see more web cam activity please consider donating funds for this purpose.
About the proposed Satara Cam
Like Orpen, Satara is in the heart of the central area of Kruger National Park, which is rich in game. It is a particularly good area for predators. Of our 4 (Satara, Addo, Boulders, Tsitsikamma) current earmarked sites, this is the one that needs the least to get started as Satara already has a lot of the infrastructure already in place.

Satara Webcam target amount reached on 21 October 2005. The amount raised was
R15,290-00.
It may take a few weeks before full transfer of the funds is reached and the cam is implemented.
