Bateleur Camp at Kichwa Tembo is a luxury camp that lies on the border of the Masai Mara National Reserve in south-western Kenya. Bateleur Camp is ideally located for discovering the amazing secrets of one of Kenya's finest safari parks.

Covering an area of some 1500 square kilometers, the Masai Mara has an abundance of game throughout the year, but from June to October comes the climax for which the area is world famous:

The Great Migration. Considered to be the most awe-inspiring spectacle in the animal kingdom, millions of zebra and wildebeest cross the Mara River on their annual trek in search of new food sources.

You can experience the Mara on game drives in open 4x4 safari vehicles, wonder at it from the vantage of a hot-air balloon or enjoy a guided nature walk with a Masai guide armed only with his spear.

Bateleur Camp walks and game drives are led by the Kichwa Tembo guides. They have all achieved the highest scores in the Masai Mara, in the Kenya Professional Safari Guides Association examination.

Exciting safari activities: Morning and afternoon game-drives in open 4x4 safari vehicles and exhilarating night drives on the private concession, guided bush walks, Masai community visits (optional extra) or spectacular sundowners with panoramic views across the Mara. You will be spoiled for choice

Late July, August and September (dry season) are prime game viewing months, but there is an abundance of resident wildlife all year round and superb viewing is by no means confined to the migration. The black-maned Mara lions are of special interest.

Cheetah, giraffe, elephant, a host of antelope and fascinating monkeys can also be seen. There are also thousands of topi, a conspicuous bronze-and- brown-coated antelope not found in other Kenyan parks, apart from Tsavo. Surrounding Kichwa Tembo is a dense forest filled with smaller mammals as well as entertaining troops of blue monkey and red-tailed monkey.
