The
Cottar's 1920's Safari Camp is situated in an extensive and exclusive
concession between the Maasai Mara, Serengeti and Loliondo reserves where a few
Purko Maasai clan roam. This area has been untouched by any kind of tourism or
development and offers the discerning client a guarantee of privacy.
Most
importantly, while the Mara has a reputation of being over congested with mass
tourism, we have kept the secret of our area for years - no hot air balloons flying
overhead, no minibuses buzzing around, no nearby lodges or low flying aircraft
to disturb your special moments.
Drawing
on many years of Safari service, the Cottar family provides guests with the highest
standard of personalized and professional guiding, recalling an era of luxury
and quality.
Cottar's
1920's Safari Camp in the Maasai Mara returns to the original spirit and essence
of 'safari', reminiscent of a golden era – one of romance, professional
guiding, adventure and elegance, in a timelessly unspoiled setting with panoramic
views and boundless wildlife game.
ACCOMMODATION
The
camp accommodates up to twelve clients in authentic white canvas tents, which
are spacious and luxuriously furnished and incorporate original safari antiques
from the '20's.
There
are private en suite dressing rooms and bathrooms (with old-fashioned showers
and flushing toilets), a main bedroom and an outdoor veranda.
Also
available and separate from the main camp are 4 family tents holding four guests
per tent.
From
the chairs at the front of your tent you can enjoy the fine views across the plains.
The camp is run with a good sense of style and the standard of food and service
is excellent.
ACTIVITIES
Guest
activities include game drives guided by Calvin Cottar or guides of equal professional
standard in either state of the art modern four wheel drive cars, in our authentic,
old wooden car or in our oxen pulled wagon. Alternatively, a tented reading room
with an extensive array of African and contemporary books and magazines will allow
those who wish to while away an afternoon to rest and view the most splendid panorama.
Walking
and bird-shooting safaris are also available at the camp on request. As the concession
area is outside the game parks, guided walks and night drives are allowed and
highly recommended. By walking, guests can get that much closer to nature, and
if an opportunity to track wild game presents itself, trained trackers will take
guests even closer still.
On
a more self-indulgent note, our masseuse will now be based full-time at the camp
for a complimentary massage, manicure or pedicure.
