andBeyond Bateleur Camp

Masai Mara National Reserve, Kenya

Elegant, classic and oh-so luxurious, andBeyond’s Bateleur Camp is set at the foot of the Oloololo escarpment and shares a private concession that borders the western Masai Mara. This exclusive camp is rated high on the top of our Kenya “must-visit” list.

Here, it’s all about warm and authentic Kenyan hospitality that is perfectly balanced by unobtrusive, yet professional service. The team truly makes you feel a part of the family and it’s hard saying goodbye at the end of your stay. Bateleur Camp offers two camps of just nine luxury tents.

We loved the contemporary nod to romantic safaris of old. Here, there, and everywhere, you will find tasteful furnishings dotted around the camp such as handcrafted artifacts, fine antiques and leather buttoned Chesterfield sofas. Your tented suite boasts a bathroom with both indoor and outdoor showers and a ‘star bath’ with sky views; as well as a large private deck with a comfortable daybed overlooking the plains of the Masai Mara.
