andBeyond Bateleur Camp, Masai Mara, Kenya
A Luxury Tented Camp in Kenya
Camp Details
Tree-dotted plains roll to the horizon. Wildlife moves in astonishing numbers. In the Masai Mara National Reserve, space stretches as far as the eye can see. But in one corner, tucked beneath the forested Oloololo escarpment, where the Great Rift Valley begins and Out of Africa took its final bow, safari becomes personal. A piece of the Mara, just for you.
Spacious, soulful and steeped in character, Bateleur Camp blends vintage elegance with open-air adventure. Dine beneath the stars, wake to bush breakfasts, and raise a glass to the wild.
Two intimate camps. Just nine luxury tents in each, with uninterrupted views of the Mara. Think crystal decanters, rose petal star-lit baths, and curated artefacts that whisper of the past. And just beyond your tent, the drama of the Great Migration unfolds as if staged for you alone.
WHY CHOOSE BATELEUR CAMP?
- Day and night game drives, bush walks and hot air ballooning available nearby
- Ambiance of classic Kenyan safari
- Community visit, including interaction with the Maasai
- Perfect for wildlife enthusiasts, first time and repeat travellers, nature lovers, photographers, birders
