Where You Can Stay

Bateleur Luxury Tented Suites

Classic Comfort Beneath the Escarpment

Spacious tented suites combine polished interiors, private decks and sweeping views with attentive butler service.

Each suite offers approximately 65 square metres of indoor and outdoor space, creating a generous private retreat within the concession.

The bedroom can be arranged with a super-king bed or twin configuration and includes polished hardwood floors, a carved writing desk and comfortable seating.

Ceiling fans, Wi-Fi, a personal bar, coffee station and modern electrical facilities provide contemporary convenience without distracting from the classic safari atmosphere.

The expansive en-suite bathroom is designed as part of the experience rather than simply a functional space.

A private outdoor deck extends the suite into the surrounding wilderness and provides a peaceful setting for reading, wildlife watching or private dining.
