Bateleur Camp
About Bateleur Camp
Set amongst the riverine forests at the edge of the Masai Mara National Reserve, Bateleur Camp embodies the classic, golden-age safari aesthetic. The camp is situated at the base of the Oloololo Escarpment, looking out over the expansive, game-rich plains that define this iconic region. Accommodation consists of vintage-styled canvas tents featuring polished wood floors, antique furnishings, and private butler service. The atmosphere is undeniably romantic and nostalgic, harking back to the era of early twentieth-century explorers. Wildlife is prolific here year-round, with the camp offering excellent access to the Great Migration river crossings. Guests can enjoy a sophisticated balance of high-end comfort and authentic, adventurous spirit, complemented by exceptional sundowners and fireside dinners that celebrate the wilderness surrounding them.
Why we like it
The camp's position at the edge of the escarpment offers one of the most iconic and dramatic views in the entire Mara, perfectly paired with an atmosphere of refined, old-world elegance.
