Kichwa Tembo Bateleur Camp

Location

Situated at the foot of the Oloololo Escarpment on the western border of the Masai Mara Reserve in southwestern Kenya.

Accommodation and facilities

Nestled in a lush riverine forest, the 9 tented suites epitomise classic elegance with polished wooden floors and en suite bathrooms with glass-walled showers, twin hand-basins and a separate flush toilet. Each tent has a private deck overlooking the vast game-filled plains of the Masai Mara, and a personal butler will ensure your every need is catered for.

Activities and game viewing

Discover the Masai Mara on interpretive morning and afternoon game-drives in open 4x4 safari vehicles led by experienced guides. View the Great Migration of hundreds of thousands of zebra and wildebeest and the predators they attract as well as many other wild animals. (Game drives included in the rate for both Bateleur Camp and Tented Safari Camp.)

Fascinating night game-drives in Kichwa Tembo’s private concession will reveal a host of interesting nocturnal creatures. (Night game drives included in the rate at Bateleur Camp; optional extra at Tented Safari Camp.)

Enjoy one of our interpretive bush walks, led by highly skilled guides and traditionally-attired Maasai naturalists, wilderness walks along the Mara River and up the Oloololo Escarpment – one of the ‘steps’ of the Great Rift Valley – will bring you face-to-face with wild Africa at its best. (Bush walks included in the rate at Bateleur Camp; optional extra at Tented Safari Camp.) Regretfully, children 16 years and younger cannot participate in bush walks.

Daily lectures by a Maasai naturalist and visits to a Maasai cultural village offer an incredible insight into the fascinating lives of the brilliantly-clad Maasai people. (Optional extra)

Early morning bush breakfasts, romantic sundowners featuring spectacular views across the Mara and dramatic candlelit dinners beside the Mara River add an unforgettable dimension to your safari experience. (Included in the rate at Bateleur Camp; optional extra at Tented Safari Camp.)

The once-in-a-lifetime experience of hot-air ballooning over the Masai Mara gives you a unique perspective of the Mara grasslands and its exceptional wildlife. (Optional extra for both Bateleur Camp and Tented Safari Camp.)
