Cottars 1920's Camp
My Safari
Cottars Safari Camp is situated just outside the Maasai Mara National Reserve and close to the border with Tanzania. The camp is idyllically situated in a varied and beautiful landscape looking out towards the plains of Tanzania’s Serengeti National Park in the distance. Cottars Safari Camp aims to re-create the golden days of old African safaris and is reminiscent of a great era of romance, elegance and adventure.
There are 6 double or twin tents and 4 family tents set a small distance away. The tents are spacious and luxuriously furnished in 1920’s style often with original antiques from that period. Each has an en-suite dressing room, bathroom and canopied veranda. The family tents consist of 2 bedrooms and a shared sitting room.
There is a tented library/reading room, and a dining area where you can enjoy excellent cuisine in a dinner party style. There is also a swimming pool – a great luxury out here in the bush – and a massage centre where you can relax and be pampered.
On offer are day and night game drives, bush walks, river swimming, fishing, bush meals and sundowners.

Other:
Being situated in its own exclusive concession area, close to the Tanzanian border, Cottars is able to offer walking safaris, night drives (which may even stray into Tanzania itself on occasion), and off-road driving.
They guarantee an absence of the crowded minbuses, low flying aircraft and so on that mar so much of the Mara.
