|
| Kichwa Tembo Bateleur Camp is located in the Masai Mara National Reserve. The Reserve lies directly in the path of what is considered to be the greatest spectacle in the animal kingdom: the annual migration of thousands of wildebeest and zebra from the Serengeti National Park of Tanzania. |

ATTRACTIONS : The unfenced Masai Mara covers
1 500km² and, together with the neighboring Serengeti (combined,
they form one ecosystem), is home to the greatest concentration
of large mammals on earth. The great migration of over two million
wildebeest and other grazing ungulates every year is the Mara's
foremost attraction and one of the greatest spectacles in the
animal kingdom. Each year, far south in the vast Serengeti,
the wildebeest raise their heads, sniff the air, and as if of
one accord, start the long trek to the Kenyan border. An endless
thunder of wildebeest and zebra enter the Mara around the end
of July, drawn by the sweet grass. Add to this the richness
of fauna, profusion of winged beauty and untouched landscape,
and you have magical Masai Mara.
FACILITIES : Nine spacious tents with wooden floors and
private verandahs grace this exclusive camp. Inside each tent,
you will find every possible comfort, including an unexpectedly
expansive en-suite bathroom. There is also a writing desk, subtle
lighting and ceiling fans in each tent. The ultimate indulgence
- a personal butler service - ensures you are pampered in style.
The nine tented rooms reflect classic luxury. The tents feature
safari architecture of sweeping canvas, traditional shingle
and highly polished hardwood. Underfoot lie fine needlepoint
rugs. The secluded, comfortable interiors of the camp are enhanced
by fine antiques, leather- buttoned Chesterfield sofas, keepsakes
of distant days such as polished compasses and cabin trunks
with their original passage labels, as well as a wide selection
of library books. The interiors transport you to the heyday
of colonial safaris, to an epoch of romance, canvas and candlelight.
The main guest area, which is shaded by a dense forest canopy,
has a reception area and a comfortable lounge with a fireplace.
While you are relaxing inside the camp, you can take in endless,
game-filled plains with the dramatic Oloololo Escarpment as
a backdrop. The tree-shaded lap pool, almost 13 metres, long
is a refreshing feature. The camp has a small curio shop, and
you are welcome to visit the larger shop at Kichwa Tembo Tented
Camp. The dining area and verandah have views of the endless
game-filled plains of the Mara. Pan-African cuisine is served
with flair. After dinner, enjoy a glass of port in front of
the fire.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION : All 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. There are morning and afternoon game drives in
open Land Rovers (night game drives are not allowed in the park).
Fascinating night explorations traverse the private concession
adjacent to the reserve in search of predators and other nocturnal
animals. |
