Cottar’s 1920’s Safari Camp is situated in a timelessly unspoiled setting with sunset views stretching to distant horizons of the Maasai Mara and the Serengeti plains which are covered in boundless game. Created by Calvin and Louise Cottar in the mid-nineties, the camp has its own 7,000-acre private Olderkesi Conservancy and is situated one kilometre from the Maasai Mara game reserve. The location provides easy access for day and night game drives to the Maasai Mara game reserve and the conservancy, game walks, and cultural interactions with the Maasai community.

The camp has 10 luxurious tents in total (one unique honeymoon tent, five double tents and four family suites), all with private ensuite bathrooms and stunning views. The entire camp is situated to ensure that tents are private and quiet whether for couples or families with young children.

The camp has two main mess tent areas for fine dining, drinking, reading and relaxing. An exciting new addition is an amazing pool and spa area where guests can relax after a game drive. Guests can also enjoy a safari bath or safari shower, specifically set up in the savannah should they wish for a genuinely unique way of bathing!

The camp is also proud to offer highly qualified guides and they have the highest number of Gold (the highest professional level) Safari Guides within one camp in Kenya. All of their guides are chosen for their unique skill set, great personalities and a full understanding of the Cottar’s guiding ethos.

This wonderful and multi award-winning camp has also been recently nominated for the 24th Annual World Travel Awards™ for: ‘Africa’s Leading Luxury Private Villa – Cottar’s Bush Villa’ & ‘Kenya’s Leading Tented Safari Camp – Cottar’s 1920’s Safari Camp’.
