Cottar's has been providing an incredible safari experience for over 80 years. Cottar's 1920's Safari Camp provides that same luxurious elegant feel that was felt way back when it all began, even taking guests out on game drives in old time vehicles to add to the magic Cottar's provides. Situated between the Maasai Mara, Serengeti and Loliondo reserves in an exclusive concession, the camp offers privacy and an abundance of wildlife all seen through the eyes of its highly qualified guides.
The Camp has 9 tents in total (2 honeymoon suites, 4 double tents and 3 family suites). There are 2 main mess tent areas for fine dining, drinking, reading and relaxing. In the pool and spa area you can relax after a game drive. You can also enjoy a safari bath or safari shower specifically set up in the savannah, should you wish for a genuinely unique way of bathing.
