Bateleur Camp is situated on the western border of the Masai Mara Game Reserve in the southwestern Kenya. Set on a private concession leased from Maasai landlords, the camp lies at the base of the Oloololo escarpment just below the spot where Out of Africa’s most famous scene was shot. The camp overlooks the plains of the Masai Mara and lies directly in the path of whit is considered to be the greatest spectacle in the animal kingdom – the annual migration of wildebeest and zebra from the Serengeti National Park of Tanzania.

The main guest areas, shaded by a dense forest canopy, consist of a sitting area with fireplaces and verandas with views of the endless game-filled Mara plains. Beautifully hand-crafted artifacts, fine antiques, leather buttoned Chesterfield sofas, books, crystal and candlelight will transport guests back to the heyday of the romantic classic safari. A unique feature is the tree shaded rim-low lap pool with a view of the Mara. Guests are welcome to visit the Safari Shop at Kichwa Tembo Masai Mara Tented Camp.

Two intimate camps each with just nine spacious tents with shingle roof, wooden doors and a private deck. Each tent is luxuriously furnished with gleaming wooden doors and wood-framed beds, overhead fan, twin hand basins, shower, private w.c, cupboards, leather chairs and writing table.

Morning and afternoon game-drives in open game viewing vehicles. Night game drives on the camp’s concession, guided nature walks with a Maasai naturalist, Maasai community visits and lectures, sundowners at a location offering spectacular views across the Mara. Hot air ballooning at an additional cost.
