BATELEUR LODGE DESCRIPTION |
LOCATION
Bateleur Camp is situated on the western border of the Masai Mara National Reserve in south-western Kenya. Set on a private concession leased from Maasai landlords, the camp lies at the base of the Oloololo escarpment just below the spot where Out of Africa’s most famous scene was shot. The camp overlooks the plains of the Masai Mara and lies directly in the path of what is considered to be the greatest spectacle in the animal kingdom - the annual migration of wildebeest and zebra from the Serengeti National Park of Tanzania.
BATELEUR CAMP ACCOMMODATION
Two intimate camps each with just nine spacious tents with shingle roof, wooden doors and a private deck. Each tent is luxuriously furnished with gleaming wooden floors and wood-framed beds, overhead fan, twin hand basins, shower, private w.c, cupboards, leather chairs and writing table.
LODGE AREA
The main guest area, shaded by a dense forest canopy, consists of a sitting area with fireplaces and veranda with views of the endless game-filled Mara plains. Beautifully hand-crafted artifacts, fine antiques, leather-buttoned Chesterfield sofas, books, crystal and candlelight will transport guests back to the heyday of the romantic classic safari.
