Cottars 1920s Safari Camp
Panoramic grassy plains studded with acacia trees. Ancient hills and forests. Rivers full of crocodile. Weathered outcrops where lion rest and wait.
Every minute of every day the pulse beats to rhythms of life, death, beauty and power. The battle to survive and thrive is played out between agile impala and cunning leopard.
Between a horde of wildebeest and cold eyed crocodile. Families of elephant roam the timeless plains as a sharp eyed bateleur soars on the thermals.
The decor is tastefully vintage and there is even a fireplace around which to recount your adventures. When you’re not exploring, the two communal tents offer space to relax, read and enjoy a drink.
Enjoy fine dining service, with tasty options for the fussiest eaters. The pool is a rarity in the Mara, tempting all ages to enjoy a refreshing afternoon swim.
Set upon the hilltop, each room features a private veranda overlooking golden plains. You will enjoy your very own dining facility, swimming pool, and spacious lounge.
This luxurious private house comes complete with its own private staff, chef and guide, and represents the ultimate private Masai Mara safari.
Afternoons are perfect for children to cast out for fish or swim under a waterfall, while parents lean back with a glass of fizz in a canvas bush bath. Head out for sundowners before spotting nocturnal creatures on the drive back to camp for dinner.
Top off the day counting stars, nodding off with dreams of what tomorrow will bring.
You will become an expert in tracking wildlife, deciphering the footprints of elephant and leopard. See who can throw their spear the furthest, before visiting a traditional Maasai village, maybe even joining a traditional dance!
