Why Travelers Love Cattle Baron
Sourced from recent guest feedback and verified reviews.
3.8 / 5.0(366 reviews)
The F&B setup at Satara is run by the Cattle Baron Group, and they do a genuinely great job. They operate three concepts in camp: – The main steakhouse restaurant (breakfast, lunch, dinner) – A takeaway counter for quick meals – A butcher shop for anyone wanting to braai at their bungalow The menu is excellent and has something for everyone — fantastic steaks, but also pasta, pizza and a good mix of other dishes. Prices are fair, portions are generous, and it’s easy to eat here every day without getting bored. Compared to our last stay in February, service has improved noticeably. Staff were consistently friendly, motivated and genuinely helpful. It felt like a completely different team in the best way. Most importantly: the food was absolutely delicious and super fresh. Every evening was a pleasure, and dinner became one of the highlights of our stay at Satara. Had a quick lunch in this restaurant. It's busy during lunch hour. A lot of tour groups stopped here. Hard to get a table. Even people having their take aways were having in the restaurant. The price for the food is reasonable. Perfect place to enjoy delicious food while watching the wild animals passing by. The quality of the food is excellent, I would highly recommending the Chateaubriand, very friendly and helpful staff, great views

We had lunch at the Cattle Baron and it is a good spot to stop as you travel in the Kruger. The food is solid and good value for money. Service was also good.

We had a very disappointing experience at Cattle Baron Satara on Sunday morning. We arrived at 07h15 for breakfast and ordered tea right away. It took about 15 minutes to arrive, and when it finally did, it was just hot water in teapots with lids that did not fit. We had to add the tea bags ourselves. We ordered our food immediately, but after about 30 minutes the waiter, Surprise, came back to tell us he never put the order through and wanted to confirm it again. At that point we were already frustrated and very hungry, so we paid for the tea and left. When you are in the Kruger, you want to spend your morning enjoying sightings, not waiting endlessly in a restaurant. This level of service was not what we expected from Cattle Baron and it really put a damper on our morning.
