BATELEUR CAMP

BATELEUR CAMP

“I walked into Bateleur Camp feeling extremely tired and weary, and was automatically transported into a luxurious haven. Friendly, helpful faces catered to my every need.”

I sat outside my beautifully appointed room to watch an array of animals wander aimlessly and peacefully just metres in front of me. The guides skillfully navigated me through the Mara with a passion and enthusiasm that was infectious! And what better than to lie by the lovely pool in an idle heap for the afternoon processing the morning’s drive, soaking up the African sun and preparing for the evening’s delicacies? I only wondered in awe how they could produce such fabulous cuisine in such a remote and breathtaking spot.
– Camilla Smith

Safaris in Kenya are filled to the brim with as much drama and exciting wildlife sightings as romantic scenery and views. Expect to be swept off of your feet as you experience the true treasures of the Masai Mara’s wilderness and a luxurious stay at either Bateleur Camp or Kichwa Tembo Tented Camp.

Awake at dawn to a breathtaking sunrise and a soft knock at your door delivering fragrant tea or coffee accompanied by morning biscuits or rusks to enjoy this mesmerising sight with. Next on the menu is an awaiting open 4 x 4 safari vehicle ready to take you on a luxury safari adventure made to thrill and remain in your memory forever. A short break for a hot drink and snack serves as that extra little something special whilst you stop to take in this incredible wilderness landscape.

Enjoy lunch, quick siesta style, after lazing in one of the hammocks strung around the grounds. A refreshing dip in the camp’s pool offers yet another opportunity to take in the magnificent views around you. A late afternoon tea serves up some delicious treats before heading out for another exhilarating game drive or bush walk.
