Global Recognition: &Beyond’s Bateleur Camp Named the World’s Best Safari Lodge for 2025
Globalization Partners International (GPI) is proud to celebrate our client, &Beyond, whose Bateleur Camp, located in Kenya’s legendary Maasai Mara National Reserve, has been named the #1 Safari Lodge in the World for 2025 by Travel + Leisure’s World’s Best Awards.
This honor is based on the votes of nearly 180,000 readers who submitted more than 657,000 ballots across thousands of travel experiences. Readers rated lodges on categories such as rooms/facilities, location, service, food, and value, and Bateleur Camp stood out for its elegant vintage-inspired tents, personalized butler service, intimate pools, and unforgettable safari setting.
