A Kenya Safari Holiday taking in the Masai Mara, and wanting to see as much wildlife as possible, must include the top class Bateleur Camp at Kichwa Tembo, and here is why it should be a compulsory part of your luxury African safari.
Firstly if you are taking a Kenya Safari Holiday, then you must want to see the Great Migration between June and October, and the Bateleur Camp overlooks the sweeping Masai Mara plains, where during the migration you can witness the massive passing throngs of animals.
Bateleur camp has been deliberately designed to give the feel of the Kenya Safaris of the 20's and 30's and the nine tented suites in each of the two camps certainly do that.
The suites sit in a lush forest kept moist by the river, and are classically elegant with polished wooden floors, ensuite bathrooms with glass walled showers, twin hand basins and a separate flushing toilet.
Each tent has a private verandah, and most importantly it overlooks the vastness of the Masai Mara, and the plentiful game. Add to this a personal butler to cater to your every whim, and it is easy to see how your Kenya safari holiday in the Masai Mara becomes a top luxury African Safari!!
When we come to the public areas of the Camp, the sitting area is full of antiques and artifacts, and you can eat indoors or outdoors. Your butler will be only too happy if you want to eat on your verandah, or even a candlelit dinner under the African sky. The food by the way is quite superb, three great meals every day with wine and cocktails included. In addition no children to disturb your tranquility!!
The great thing about Bateleur is the situation overlooking the plains of the Masai Mara, so the activities will be geared to some extent to the time of year, dominated by the great migration. You will go on morning, and afternoon game drives, always with a qualified guide in your own open safari vehicle, so no having to stand to view. The game drives are included in your daily rate.
Add to this night drives in Kichwa Tembo's private concession, bush walks, Masai community visits, hot air ballooning, and you will have the safari of your life here.
To cap it all you can opt for early morning bush breakfasts, romantic sundowners looking out over the Masai Mara, and candlelit dinners overlooking the Mara river.
This safari camp also has the huge advantage of being in the exclusive West Mara, so at no time will your safari be in the company of dozens of other vehicles.
Bateleur Camp is a must as part of your Kenya Safari Holiday, and if it is a luxury African Safari you want, don't miss it!!

Your Kenya Safari Holiday could well start at Amboseli, not only because Amboseli National Park is only an hour by air from Nairobi, but also because the wildlife viewing is top class all the year round, and the views of Mt. Kilimanjaro in the background are truly spectacular.
As a park Amboseli is comparatively small, being less than 400 sq km, but it does boast over 50 of the lrger species of mammal, and over 400 species of birds.
It is also the home of the Maasai people, tall proud and brave, and nomadic, so there is evidence of their abandoned villages because they move wherever, and whenver the cattle grazing is used up. The cattle's damage to the grassland, added to the sheer numbers of animals along with the popularity of Amboseli, the huge number of tourists, their four wheel drive vehicle damage, has meant a restriction in where vehicles can go.
Having said all of that Amboseli is a great place to start your Kenya Safari Holiday because of the numbers of game that you can view, and the sheer beauty of seeing the game on your Kenya Safari Holiday against the backdrop of the snow covered Mt. Kilimanjaro.
The centre area of Amboseli national park is basically a dried up lake, and swamps and springs fed by the melted snow, from underground rivers originating on Kilimanjaro give the animals permanent sources of water even during the periods of drought. The best place to view game on your Kenya safari holiday is around the swamps, and there is a great place to go called Observation Hill.
The big question of course is what game will you see on your Kenya Safari Holiday to Amboseli?
The list will incude baboon, vervetmonkey, lion, cheetah, elephat, zebra, hippo, black rhino, oryx, wildebest, gerenuk, impala, and gazelle.
Amongst the camps you need to check out for your Kenya safari Holiday in Amboseli includes Amboseli Serena Lodge, Ol Tukai Lodge, Amboseli Sopa Lodge, Tortllis Camp, and just north of Amboseli is Porini Camp.
