&Beyond Bateleur Camp
Two small luxury camps · Kichwa Tembo concession, below the Oloololo Escarpment · &Beyond

Safari company
Bateleur is &Beyond's smaller, dearer neighbour to Kichwa Tembo on the same concession below the Oloololo Escarpment: two camps of nine tents each, 36 guests in all, with a spa sala. Like Kichwa Tembo it is outside the reserve, which allows bush walks and bush dining but puts the reserve ticket on top. The child policy matches its neighbour's: eight or older recommended, under-6s not on regular drives. No rate is published on the pages read. Choose it for a small camp with Kichwa Tembo's flight access; skip it if you want a camp that settles all fees in one rate.

What the park charges on top
The rate above buys you a bed. Masai Mara National Reserve charges its own entry fee for every day you are inside. Here is what that adds up to.
- Park entryThe non-resident rate from 1 July to 31 December; $100 from 1 January to 30 June.
- $200per person, per day
- VehicleKSh 1,000 a day for a car under six seats, about $8 at KSh 129 to the dollar.
- $8per vehicle, per day
Three nights means three days inside, so two adults sharing one vehicle pay $1224 in park fees before anyone pays for a bed.
The figure above uses the July to December rate. From January to June the same sum halves for the people. A day is 06:00 to 18:00, and guests in the conservancies outside the reserve pay only on the days they drive in.
The full fee schedule for Masai Mara National ReserveRates at &Beyond Bateleur Camp
Rates on request. &Beyond shows no rate on the pages read (6 Oct 2026). Inclusions per the brochure are as at Kichwa Tembo (meals, drinks, laundry, airstrip transfers, drives, bush walks) plus bush dining; national reserve fees and balloon flights are excluded. The reserve ticket is $100 (January to June) or $200 (July to December) per adult per day.
All inclusive. The rate covers meals, drinks, activities and the transfers named below. Park fees are charged separately.
Every figure on this page is in US dollars.
Rates checked on 6 October 2026 against each operator's own website or 2026 rate sheet, in US dollars per person per night sharing unless the entry says otherwise. One figure is a reseller's, not the owner's: Olonana Lodge's $2,450 (safari.com, 6 Oct 2026), because A&K's own page would not load. Angama's rates come from a January 2026 copy of its site, since the live site blocks automated reading. On top of nearly every rate sits Narok County's reserve ticket: $100 per non-resident adult per 12-hour day (6 am to 6 pm) from January to June and $200 from July to December, $50 for a child of 9 to 17, free at 8 and under. Conservancy camps add their own nightly fee, $130 per adult in Mara North, Olare Motorogi and Naboisho in 2026 and $116 in Mara Siana, unless the entry says it is included.
Questions about &Beyond Bateleur Camp
Is Bateleur Camp inside the Masai Mara reserve?
No. &Beyond's brochure map places Bateleur on the Kichwa concession, outside the reserve, and its walks are possible because of that.
What is the difference between Bateleur and Kichwa Tembo?
Bateleur has two camps of nine tents each for 36 guests and adds bush dining; Kichwa Tembo has 34 rooms for 68 guests and a pool. Both use Kichwa Tembo airstrip.
Can children stay at Bateleur Camp?
&Beyond recommends Kenya for children 8 or older; under-6s cannot join regular drives and 6 to 11 at the manager's discretion. There is one luxury family tent.
