Cottar's Private Bush Villa is the award-winning addition to the incredible Cottar's 1920s Safari Camp. A luxury villa set in on the border of the Maasai Mara and Serengeti game reserves, the Bush Villa provides an amazing private family retreat, complete with a private swimming pool for a family to enjoy.
