Situated in a private concession on the Masai Mara – and bordering the Serengeti and Loliondo reserves – Cottar’s 1920s Camp is a traditional tented safari camp reminiscent of scenes from Out of Africa or the pages of Hemingway’s safari diary.

About Cottar’s Camp

In authentic historic style, the camp is furnished with decorative pieces – ostrich eggs, typewriters, dusty photo albums, and steel and brass antiques – which transport you back in time to a golden era when safaris were characterised by uninhibited adventure and romance. While it is the intention of your convivial hosts at Cottar’s to take you back to an age long-past, there is nothing antiquated about its personalised and intuitive service. A butler is always at your service, making you feel comfortably ‘at home’ and wanting for nothing.

Open: All year round

Closest airstrip: Mara airstrips

Families: Children of all ages are welcome

Accommodation & Amenities

Under the shade of a cluster of acacia trees with expansive views across the Mara plains, this classic camp accommodates 28 guests in authentic white canvas en suite tents. Professionally guided 4x4 game drives and walking safaris with expert guides are Cottar’s hallmark and the camp’s position within close proximity of the Serengeti means that you are ideally placed to witness the spectacular wildebeest Migration between May and October. Year-round game viewing on this Big 5 reserve is consistent with high concentrations of predators such as lion, leopard and cheetah inhabiting the reserve. Seen in impressive numbers during the Great Migration are zebra and wildebeest, which traverse the plains in their thousands looking for fresh grazing lands.
