Unique experience. The staff is the most friendly and kind one could wish to find anywhere in the world. The atmosphere is incredible. The camp is luxurious and charming. A true safari experience. We found it even more exciting and authentic than the best and most luxurious camps in South Africa. We miss it a lot and wish very mush... more

After a painful flight from Nairobi we disembark from the Air Kenya plane and see other guests struggle with their luggage to their dusty jeeps and off they go. We go to follow before spotting a shiny Bateleur Land Cruiser accompanied by the wonderful Wilfred with a cold flannel and a table set up with a selection of cold drinks.... more

This was our first stop at a CC Africa lodge. Although at first we were a bit taken about how very organized everything was (we were even given a formal presentation by our guide on all the other CC Africa lodges which seemed a bit strange, like a marketing pitch) we very quickly came to appreciate what an excellent job... more

PROS The accommodation is a luxury tent - very unique. Most of the staff were very welcoming and helpful - especially Joseph and Esther. CONS One of the selling points which Bateleur use is that each guest has its own private butler - this is FALSE. I was introduced to my private butler but then didn't see him again for... more

Spent 4 nights here and we were delighted with the standard of accommodation, food and above all the fantastic hospitality of the friendly and professional staff. The 'tents' are as well appointed as a luxury hotel with four-poster bed, twin wash basins, large walk-in shower and toilet. The verander at the front looked over the vast plains of the Masai... more

We stayed at Bateleur Camp two nights in september and absolutely loved our stay. A 5 in every way. Great tent, great staff, great guide (Daniel), great food, great ambiance. Even though it rained most of the time the guide managed to make the viewing a memorable experience. Would go back for a longer stay anytime. Fantastic !!!! more

Website [--], also a member of the Small Luxury Hotels of the World [--]) Bateleur now has two separate camps, each with 9 tents (so maximum 36 guests at one time), but each group of 9 tents has it’s own central lobby/dining area, so the guests from the two Bateleur Camps don’t really mingle. Common Areas: There is a nice... more

The Bateluer Camp at Kichwa Tempo is as close to a perfect safari experience as one could hope for. Situated on the very edge of the Masai Mara, the setting overlooking the savannah is perfect. We saw two giraffes in the near distance as we checked in.. .preparing us for the next few days of game drives. The overall ambiance... more

We spent three nights at the Bateleur Camp in June 2007. The Bateleur camp was wonderful and the staff was absolutely fantastic. We had a wonderful ranger (David) and our game drives were memorable. The food at the camp was delicious and the staff was extremely thoughtful and attentive (thank you Jonathan!!). There are now two separate Bateleur Camps, both... more
