andBeyond Bateleur Camp is a classic and intimate safari camp in a private corner of the Masai Mara; with timeless views across Africa’s great plains, intrepid adventures, wildlife magic, and authentic community interactions.
Bateleur Camp is nestled in the woodland at the foot of the magnificent Oloololo escarpment; which is on the rim of the Great Rift Valley; in Kenya’s Masai Mara National Reserve. Blessed with an astounding year-round concentration of animals and the site of the Great Wildebeest Migration, the Masai Mara provides an unsurpassed wildlife experience.
Covering an area of 1 510 km²; 583 square miles; the Masai Mara is a land of breath-taking vistas, plentiful wildlife, and endless landscapes. With abundant elephant, buffalo, giraffe, lion, and cheetah alongside the migratory wildebeest and zebra, the reserve is a photographer’s and naturalist’s paradise. Leopards are frequently seen, endangered black rhinos find shelter in dense thickets; while rafts of hippo and enormous crocodiles are found in the Mara River. The reserve is also home to over 450 bird species.
